One year ago, we published an article in the New York Law Journal about the state of digital asset regulation as the SEC and the CFTC were jockeying to be the lead crypto regulator.  For years, the digital asset industry complained that the government had not provided clear regulatory guidance, and instead regulated through enforcement actions.  Once again, a year passed with no comprehensive crypto legislation.

Unlike with crypto, governments around the world are showing profound interest in another potentially transformative technology: Artificial Intelligence (AI).  AI recently captured mainstream attention with the release of AI chatbots and generative AI—technology that learns and acts without human direction.  But for all the excitement about AI, many AI experts and others have raised serious concerns about AI’s daunting capabilities and the need for safe and controlled AI development.  Indeed, some see the development of advanced AI as an existential risk to humanity.
