Tatevik Davtyan (Yerevan State University) has posted The U.S. Approach to Ai Regulation: Federal Laws, Policies, and Strategies Explained on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This article comprehensively analyzes how the United States (U.S.) approaches artificial intelligence (AI) governance. Unlike the European Union's AI Act, which provides a legally binding framework, the U.S. adopts a decentralized, sector-specific regulatory strategy, primarily driven by voluntary commitments from private companies and guided by federal agencies. Additionally, state-level initiatives, often influenced by specific local concerns, contribute to a diverse regulatory environment. The article examines federal legislative and executive initiatives, agency regulations, and industry participation, highlighting the challenges this fragmented approach poses for achieving uniformity and addressing critical issues such as privacy, security, and accountability. It also explores the broader implications of the U.S. model on global AI governance and the potential need for more comprehensive legislation to balance innovation with ethical considerations and risk management.
