In the push for development, is the U.S. prepared to regulate AI?

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has captured the attention of nearly every industry -- including the public sector. In fact, this June, Lynne Parker became the United States' first AI czar, tasked with evaluating societal risks associated with AI and preventing harm from new technologies. More recently, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced plans to form a committee to advise federal agencies on AI research and development, and the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory committee said they plan to focus on several issues -- including U.S. competitiveness and how AI can enhance opportunities for geographic regions. What's become increasingly clear today -- supported by the continued investment of AI spending -- is that the administration is adamant about bolstering AI efforts and addressing AI regulations across the public and private sectors. Yet, many still wonder whether the increased focus on AI will result in any tangible outcomes.
