When the Models Move Faster Than the Rules: Inside America’s AI Policy Crisis
U.S. AI policy is struggling to keep pace with rapid advances in AI model development, leaving a governance gap between what the technology can do and what existing rules actually cover.
Why this matters: This gap is not abstract. When rules lag behind technology, the people most likely to be harmed have no real recourse. Companies can deploy powerful systems before anyone has decided who is responsible when those systems go wrong. That is not a temporary quirk of a fast-moving industry. It is a deliberate advantage for whoever moves first. Catching up after the fact is harder, and the people harmed in the meantime rarely get made whole.
