Summary: Global jurisdictions are taking steps to introduce laws and regulations aimed at ensuring the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI). In the European Union, the proposed AI Act seeks to regulate AI use across four risk categories, while the USA has published a draft AI Bill of Rights outlining principles for AI deployment and protecting citizens. Canada’s Digital Charter Implementation Act focuses on enhancing trust in AI development. Legal frameworks are advancing, but governance, risk assessment, and operational practices must be established to guide the evolution of AI into businesses and society.
