ABSTRACT

This chapter is an overview of how we legislate technology and how well we are doing. Consider the US, Europe, Russia and China’s approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance. Initially, there is an overview of International Law and then a deep dive into regional/national legislation and company practices, including WEF/OECD. An example of Facial Recognition is used to explore Big Tech’s approach to governance and legislation from US and China. The chapter also considers the challenges of policing AI and the difficulties of policing AI globally. Finally, regulation of the crowd is considered as a viable source for reviewing its history and current situation.
