CCIA Cautions US Against EU Regulator Approach to AI

The U.S. should avoid the EU's “overly prescriptive” approach to regulating AI (see 2306140039), the Computer & Communications Industry Association said Tuesday, releasing a white paper with regulatory recommendations. Congress and various agencies are exploring how to use existing and potential authorities to avoid risks of the technology (see 2306230060). CCIA agreed that. by “establishing clear guidelines and standards for transparency and accountability, regulation can help address concerns related to privacy, bias, and accountability.” But CCIA said an approach like the EU’s AI Act “may hamper the development of the next generation of AI technologies.” CCIA “hopes this paper will serve as a guide for policymakers to craft rules that maximize the benefits of AI while reducing the potential risks,” said Senior Counsel-Innovation Policy Josh Landau. “With smart regulation and governance, the United States can continue to lead the world in AI innovation.”
