    There is a story people tell about AI regulation, and it goes like this: the technology is moving too fast, governments can’t keep up, regulators are overwhelmed, and by the time anyone writes a law the thing they’re trying to regulate has already evolved into something else entirely.

    No. That’s not the story people are telling about AI regulation. It goes like this:

    If we regulate AI, that will give an advantage to AI companies in other countries. They will surpass our AI capabilities and leave us in the technological dust.

    There’s a related story:

    If we regulate AI, we’re likely to create more problems because Boomers don’t understand technology.

      I think both are true.

      Tech innovation is normally faster of the process of approving a new law and of course any law you write trying to regulate something in your state is not applicable everywhere else.

      If we regulate AI, we’re likely to create more problems because Boomers don’t understand technology.

      True, but that is not limited to AI
