The GDPR, in particular, has set a precedent for incorporating data privacy principles into AI laws globally. As AI’s role in society grows, companies must prioritize data protection and compliance with privacy laws to maintain customer trust.

In the United States, AI regulation is not yet comprehensive. It relies on a combination of national and state laws, industry self-regulation, and judicial decisions. 

This patchwork approach creates conflicts due to varying rules and legal systems struggling to address AI-related disputes effectively.

Steps to Reduce Algorithmic Bias

To combat algorithmic bias, several strategies can be implemented:

  1. Increase Data Diversity: Using diverse, high-quality data helps models make better decisions. Data annotation and retraining are also essential to reduce negative outcomes.
  2. Human-in-the-Loop Techniques: Involving humans in the AI training process increases transparency and reduces bias.
  3. AI Auditing and Regulation: Regular audits and strict regulations can make AI models more transparent, though achieving this transparency is challenging due to the ‘black box’ nature of many algorithms.
