Op-ed: Over 2,000 proposals aim to govern AI. Not a single one addresses a long-term regulatory framework

Why it matters

Fragmented regulatory efforts across jurisdictions create strategic uncertainty for AI builders and investors. Without a coherent long-term framework, companies face compliance whiplash and market-wide inefficiency.

Key signals

  • 2,000+ AI governance proposals globally
  • No unified long-term regulatory framework identified
  • Market-based regulation insufficient per analysis
  • Systemic governance gap across jurisdictions

The hook

Over 2,000 proposals. Zero long-term framework. Here's why that matters for your AI roadmap.
