Navigating AI Regulation: A Comparative Analysis of EU and US Legal Frameworks

Navigating AI Regulation: A Comparative Analysis of EU and US Legal Frameworks

KUZIOR Aleksandra, SIRA Mariya, ZOZUĽAKOVÁ Viera, HETENYI Martin

Abstract. The rise of AI has led to significant changes in various industries, highlighting the need for strong regulations to ensure ethical and responsible AI development and implementation. This paper compares the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) regulatory strategies in addressing AI. As demonstrated by the comprehensive AI Act, the EU’s proactive approach prioritizes transparency, accountability, and human-centered AI. At the same time, the US takes a more flexible approach by focusing on innovation through industry-specific guidelines and existing laws.
