Spoken (by a human) version of this article.

Legislation isn't the silver bullet for algorithmic integrity. 

Are they useful? Sure. They help provide clarity and can reduce ambiguity. And once a law is passed, we must comply. 

However:

• existing legislation may already apply
• new algorithm-focused laws can be too narrow or quickly outdated
• standards can be confusing, and may not cover what we need
• "best practice" frameworks help, but they're not always the best (and there are several, so they can't all be "best").

In short, they are helpful.

But we need to know what we're getting - what they cover, don't cover, etc.
