The regulation of artificial intelligence refers to the development of public sector policies and laws for promoting and regulating artificial intelligence (AI). It is part of the broader regulation of algorithms.[1][2] The regulatory and policy landscape for AI is an emerging issue in jurisdictions worldwide, including for international organizations without direct enforcement power like the IEEE or the OECD.[3]
Since 2016, numerous AI ethics guidelines have been published in order to maintain social control over the technology.[4] Regulation is deemed necessary to both foster AI innovation and manage associated risks.
Furthermore, organizations deploying AI have a central role to play in creating and implementing trustworthy AI, adhering to established principles, and taking accountability for mitigating risks.[5]
Regulating AI through mechanisms such as review boards can also be seen as social means to approach the AI control problem.[6][7]
