The Global Race To Regulate AI
Axios, April 22, 2021

Regulators in Europe and Washington are racing to figure out how to govern business' use of artificial intelligence while companies push to deploy the technology.
Driving the news: On Wednesday, the EU revealed a detailed proposal on how AI should be regulated, banning some uses outright and defining which uses of AI are deemed "high-risk."
What they're saying: The EU's move "is another wake-up call for the U.S. that it needs to retain its leadership position in the development in these sorts of legal frameworks," said Christian Troncoso, senior director of policy at BSA | The Software Alliance.
"The US is going to really need to start being a little bit more forward-leaning and willing to engage with big trade partners like the EU on the development of norms around technology," he said.
