Debate on AI regulations intensifies as technology advances across various industries.
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated nearly every industry, from healthcare and job recruitment to law enforcement and transportation, driving automation and transforming daily life. However, alongside its benefits, AI has raised concerns about unintended consequences, including privacy violations, biased algorithms against race and gender, and faulty code that could compromise public safety and civil liberties.
Governments are increasingly considering regulatory frameworks for AI. In March, China implemented its AI regulatory system, while countries like the UK and Canada have recently introduced proposals. Some experts worry that excessive regulation could hinder innovation, while advocates argue that current laws are insufficient to address the rapid evolution of AI technology.
In this episode of The Stream, we will explore the potential benefits and risks of artificial intelligence, alongside government efforts to regulate its development.
