Link: What Should U.S. Policymakers Know about the AI Act (So Far)?

For OTI’s Blog, I wrote an explanation for what happened in the EU with the AI Act. Because the decision taken in early December 2023 was a provisional and political one that happened behind closed doors, there is no text of the Act yet, and any text that crops up before mid February 2024 is likely not final. With that in mind, I set out to explain how EU policymaking works, how the AI Act was originally created, what the final negotiations entailed, and what the US context was. Finally, the post looks towards 2024 on how to govern artificial intelligence.
