Efforts to craft AI regulations will continue in 2022

AI regulations are coming and will be a significant focus for lawmakers in the U.S. and globally in 2022. That's according to Beena Ammanath, executive director of the Global Deloitte AI Institute, who sees a fast-moving worldwide push for AI regulation. As artificial intelligence technology use increases across enterprises, Ammanath said it will be important for governments, the private sector and consumer groups to develop regulations for AI and other emerging technologies. Broadly, advocates for AI regulation seek transparency for black box algorithms and the means to protect consumers from bias and discrimination. The U.S. has been slow to regulate AI compared to the U.K., Germany, China and Canada.
