What's next for AI regulation in 2024?

If 2023 was the year lawmakers agreed on a vision, 2024 will be the year policies start to morph into concrete action. AI really entered the political conversation in the US in 2023. There was also action, culminating in President Biden's executive order on AI at the end of October--a sprawling directive calling for more transparency and new standards. Through this activity, a US flavor of AI policy began to emerge: one that's friendly to the AI industry, with an emphasis on best practices, a reliance on different agencies to craft their own rules, and a nuanced approach of regulating each sector of the economy differently. Next year will build on the momentum of 2023, and many items detailed in Biden's executive order will be enacted.
