Lars Hornuf (Dresden U Technology) et al. have posted “Regulatory Competition in the Age of AI” on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not only triggered a technology race and a fight for market leadership, but has also become a site of regulatory competition. As governments race to define rules for AI, they embed competing visions of alignment, innovation, and control into digital technology. These regulatory choices are shaping global markets, norms, and institutions. To analyze how regulatory competition unfolds in the AI domain, this article presents a four-part framework that includes value priorities, areas of AI regulation, governance approaches, and strategic openness and control. Building on this framework, the article discusses current developments in AI regulation and their implications for regulatory competition, both in practice and as a research field. Identifying four shifts from traditional models of regulatory competition, the article highlights how Information Systems research can connect global regulatory policy with the organizational realities of AI design, adoption, and governance within organizations.
