AI regulations are already out of date - IT leaders need to think ahead

"Most AI regulations passed in the last few years are already irrelevant, but enterprises should think ahead with rudimentary governance plans for quicker compliance. Current AI regulations target frontier models, high-risk models, and transparency, focusing on LLMs and the prevention of voice and video deepfakes."

"Some oversights, such as human oversight, are going to be really challenging when it comes to things like AI agents. It also isn't clear how regulations will apply to emerging technologies such as world models for smart robots."

"There's quite a lot of uncertainty as to how current AI regulations are going to work. The main change in the next 12 months will be a shift from policymaking to enforcement."

Lawmakers are struggling to keep pace with rapidly evolving AI technologies, making many recent regulations obsolete. Enterprises are advised to implement basic governance plans for quicker compliance. Current regulations focus on high-risk models and transparency but do not account for future technologies like self-updating AI systems. There is uncertainty regarding how existing laws will apply to emerging technologies, particularly in system-to-system interactions. A shift from policymaking to enforcement is expected in the coming year, with the EU AI Act set to be enforced soon.
