The lack of comprehensive AI policy in the US is a pressing concern, with experts warning that Congress’s reactive approach to AI policymaking could lead to poorly thought-out laws in response to a crisis. Helen Toner, a former OpenAI board member, expressed her concerns about the current state of AI policymaking, highlighting the need for proactive and thoughtful regulation. The US lags behind the EU in AI regulation, with no comprehensive legislation in sight, leaving a vacuum that state and local governments are rushing to fill. This patchwork of rules threatens to create uncertainty for industry and consumers alike, with differing definitions of “automated decision making” in state laws. Toner advocates for a high-level federal mandate to provide common-sense guardrails for AI development, making it less likely that future crises will arise.
