The US is at a crossroads of AI governance. Too much regulation will impede AI development and give a possibly decisive advantage to its adversaries. Too little or ineffective regulation will expose the world to excessive risk. Complex regulation will exclude medium-sized and smaller providers who cannot afford legal staff and consultants to navigate the complex regime.
