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.
AI can't be regulated by the invisible hand of the market. We need a comprehensive future-focused regulatory framework.
