AI Regulation
Laws and rules governing how AI can be developed and used.
In Plain English
AI Regulation refers to government laws and policies that govern AI development and deployment. Different regions are taking different approaches — the EU's AI Act categorizes AI by risk level, while the US has taken a more sector-specific approach. Regulations aim to ensure AI is safe, fair, and respects privacy while not stifling innovation.
💡Real-World Example
The EU AI Act bans certain AI applications (like social scoring) and requires transparency for high-risk AI systems.
