Can AI regulation give businesses clear rules and regulators the means to enforce them?
A new discussion from The Asian Banker examines whether AI regulation can simultaneously give businesses the clear guidance they need to operate and give regulators the tools and authority to enforce those rules effectively.
Why this matters: This is the core tension in AI governance right now. Businesses want predictability. Regulators want teeth. Those two things are hard to have at the same time. Vague rules are easy to pass and hard to enforce. Specific rules are easier to enforce but can be gamed or quickly outdated. If regulation ends up toothless, the burden falls on users and workers, not the companies building the systems. Getting this balance wrong does not just slow down innovation — it leaves real people with no meaningful recourse when AI causes harm.
