The Canadian government, via its Treasury Board, now has a month old Directive on Automated Decision Making.

Reserve Bank of India introduces FinTech regulatory sandbox.
The Reserve Bank of India has issued a structured proposal for a FinTech regulatory sandbox. The proposal is straight forward and follows the establishment of a working group that reported in 2018.

They want to… Continue reading FDA proposes new AI regulatory scheme; is it a model?

Well that’s depressing.
I set up a whole blog about regulating artificial intelligence and some guy suggests that's impossible. It's understandable why people feel that way, really. To some extent the task seems fairly impossible in that there are a myriad of areas to consider and the use of technology seems to be far outpacing any kind of government… Continue reading Well that’s depressing.
Some further thoughts on the Google AI governance white paper.
Previously I described Google's white paper on AI regulation, released not long ago. Here are a few more thoughts about it (you'll have to have reference to the paper as I mention some specific items in it): Many of these discussions on AI regulation still begin with the premise that we know what we mean by AI.… Continue reading Some further thoughts on the Google AI governance white paper.
