CSET’s Jack Corrigan and Owen J. Daniels shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by the Council on Foreign Relations. They discuss the ongoing efforts and debates around governing artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the various approaches taken by policymakers globally, especially in the U.S. Despite the rapid evolution of AI, the U.S. has yet to implement binding regulations, with current efforts focused on voluntary compliance and managing AI within government use.

They write, “Using existing authorities can help regulators address what are likely to be a range of highly sector-specific AI applications. Since AI is a general-purpose technology, policymakers cannot realistically create a set of universally applicable, one-size-fits-all regulations.”

Corrigan and Daniels’ piece builds on their recent co-authored CSET report, where they argue that the government does not need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to governing AI, and should rely on existing authorities.
