Regulating artificial intelligence is like driving a car: some prefer clear speed limits and guardrails, others enjoy an open road with minimal signs. The EU and the US exemplify these two different philosophies in AI regulation.

🇪🇺 The EU’s strategy prioritizes safety, fundamental rights, and transparency, ensuring responsible innovation and trustworthiness in AI systems. The objective is to protect individuals from a technology that might be dangerous but also to create a regulated environment where EU entities might better compete against US giants.

🇺🇸 In contrast, the current US approach, under the Trump administration, is notably less restrictive, summarized as a “let’s see what happens” policy. The goal is to have minimal constraints allowing rapid development and deployment of AI models, including open-source or freely available powerful AI systems.

Listen to the episode where Giulio Coraggio, data and technology lawyer at the global law firm DLA Piper unravels the complexities of the issue. Also, if you want to know more on the topic, read DLA Piper's AI Law journal available HERE
