Omdia: Regulators must shift focus from AI policy design to implementation and enforcement
Research firm Omdia is calling on regulators to move beyond drafting AI policy frameworks and prioritize putting those rules into practice through active enforcement. The argument is that the gap between written policy and real-world accountability has grown wide enough to matter.
Why this matters: Most major AI rules are already written. The problem is that writing a rule and enforcing it are completely different jobs. Right now, companies know the policies exist and also know that enforcement is thin. That gap is where harm happens. If regulators stay in design mode, the rules become decoration. The people most affected by automated decisions — in hiring, lending, healthcare, benefits — are the ones who pay the price when policy stays on paper.
