The AI regulation gap: Risk, cost, and competitive advantage
A supply chain industry publication examines the uneven regulatory landscape around AI, framing compliance costs and risk exposure as variables that can either hurt or benefit companies depending on how they position themselves relative to emerging rules.
Why this matters: When regulation is patchy, the companies with the most resources decide what 'responsible AI' looks like in practice. Everyone else either copies them or cuts corners to stay competitive. That is not a safety system. It is a market dynamic. The people who bear the real risk — workers, consumers, the public — are not the ones setting the terms. Compliance framed as competitive advantage is fine, but it is not a substitute for clear rules that apply to everyone equally.
