Abstract

Does artificial intelligence (AI) present a fundamentally new challenge for policy, or does it simply magnify issues already familiar from previous technological waves? On one hand, AI carries forward many challenges that policymakers have grappled with in the past—though their significance may shift in the AI context. On the other hand, AI introduces new opportunities and challenges. These uncharted complexities demand more research and entirely fresh policy approaches.
