US EditionEuropean Union AI Regulation Is Both Model and Warning for U.S. Lawmakers, Experts Say
- On May 21, 2025, U.S. Experts and lawmakers held a congressional hearing to examine the European Union's AI regulation and its implications for America.
- The EU implemented its comprehensive AI Act last year to prevent a fragmented patchwork of state laws that currently governs AI regulation in the U.S.
- The EU law places regulatory duties on AI developers, requiring transparency, testing, and documentation, while most U.S. Companies currently rely on self-governance with internal safeguards.
- Experts warned that U.S. Adoption of a similar EU-style law risks harming innovation, with Adam Thierer stating America could get squeezed between the 'Brussels Effect' and excessive state mandates.
- The hearing suggested that future U.S. AI regulation may favor a mix of private sector action and moderate government oversight rather than broad, federal mandates like the EU's AI Act.
