AI Regulation Rollback: Innovation vs. Trust Concerns
Jonas warns that while less oversight might accelerate innovation, it risks trust in AI systems. "Without mandated guardrails, AI could amplify biases and misinformation." Companies may prioritize market share over caution unless required to self-regulate. Global regulations, like the EU AI Act, could set de facto standards, urging US companies to adopt stricter policies despite federal delays.
AI Liability: Contracts Alone Won't Protect You
Jonas warns, "AI presents several potential liabilities, such as financial, reputational, and legal. Contracts are just a bandaid. Instead, demand that AI providers implement proper AI Risk Management practices, processes, and tooling to mitigate incidents."
