The United Nations needs to start regulating the 'Wild West' of artificial intelligence

The European Commission recently published a proposal for a regulation on artificial intelligence (AI). This is the first document of its kind to attempt to tame the multi-tentacled beast that is artificial intelligence. "The sun is starting to set on the Wild West days of artificial intelligence," writes Jeremy Kahn. He may have a point. When this regulation comes into effect, it will change the way that we conduct AI research and development.
