Overview

The need for AI regulation is understood by the authorities in all four jurisdictions (The United States, The European Union, Canada, and China). Although commonalities exist among the areas, likely driven by the cross-border nature of the technologies involved, the differences in general, regulatory approach and principles by jurisdiction, have resulted in critical dissimilarities. Common themes include a focus on transparency, traceability, governance, risk management, testing and documentation, and accountability. Differences appear to be primarily the result of the varied regulatory philosophies (e.g., the federalist model of state-led regulation in the U.S. vs. the centralized model in China), legislative approach (industry-specific vs. cross-industry regulation), and regulatory approach (e.g., a focus on protection of rights vs. a focus on fostering technological innovation). This report aims to provide readers with an up-to-date overview of the regulatory landscape, but the information contained here is likely to change.
