Insights
Tech companies' AI governance announcement lacks real regulation

The EU has been at the forefront of proposing real legislation for AI governance, while the majority of US lawmakers lack understanding of the internet and AI technology, making comprehensive legislation unlikely.
AI to be a major topic in the upcoming US election cycle
AI is expected to be a significant topic during the upcoming US election cycle, with potential challenges and controversies.
