BSA CEO Victoria Espinel Warns Against Conflicting Federal AI Regulations
Washington Lawyer Online
By John Murph
“Congress should have a role,” Espinel chimed in. “But Congress is not where the action is. There’s just so many other priorities on their plate.” She noted that the Trump administration is reportedly working on an AI action plan and that Colorado was the first U.S. state to pass a comprehensive AI bill.
“There is no question that there [eventually] will be regulations,” Espinel said. “But one of my concerns is how many different kinds of regulations [are] we are going to end up with?” Competing regulations will not be good for businesses, Espinel said.
In terms of the legal profession’s responsibilities in shaping AI regulations, Espinel said that law firms, companies, and institutions need to have internal processes regarding AI usage. “It’s important that companies put in place [AI] governance committees,” she said. “And having it truly across departmental is very important.”
