Pro-business AI regulations need to be global

There is little doubt that artificial intelligence and machine learning will revolutionise decision-making. But how these new technologies make decisions is a mystery and the black art that goes on behind the scenes to deliver those decisions is based on mathematical models that cannot easily be explained. AI relies on accurate data, but data protection regulations can sometimes act as a barrier to prevent the access required to train algorithms with more diverse use cases. Without this diversity, the dataset is stymied by only including data from individuals who have opted in to sharing their personal information. Such data mining could improve the accuracy of the data models used in machine learning.
