Countries take varied approaches to artificial intelligence regulation

Countries are at different stages of regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The U.S. has no formal guidelines after President Trump rescinded an executive order aimed at oversight, leaving the situation largely unregulated. China is developing a formal law on generative AI, with interim measures focusing on user consent and national security. The government will enforce strict rules while allowing exceptions for itself. In contrast, the European Union has implemented the "AI Act," which includes comprehensive regulations banning high-risk AI uses. India has personal data laws but lacks specific AI regulations, while the UK is working on an action plan to boost AI growth and clarify copyright issues.
