Regulating AI Under Uncertainty
A few days ago, I spoke with Stanford Professor Florence G'sell, author of the 470-page report “Regulating Under Uncertainty: Governance Options for Generative AI,” to discuss recent developments in generative AI regulation and the AI governance trends likely to shape the coming years.
The result was a fascinating 54-minute conversation, in which we discussed AI risk, regulatory trends, the EU AI Act, the Digital Omnibus, AI litigation in the United States, China, and more.
