Understanding the Global Landscape of AI Bias Regulation

Globally, the approach to regulating AI bias is fragmented. While some countries have enacted specific legislation, others rely on broader data protection or civil rights laws. The European Union leads with the AI Act, aiming to set a high standard for trustworthy and ethical AI, including robust measures against bias. Meanwhile, countries like the USA approach it more sectorally, with guidelines from bodies like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) providing frameworks without strict enforcement. This patchwork of regulations reflects the complex interplay between technological innovation, ethical standards, and national legislative priorities.
