Although artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for decades in some form, the more recent Generative AI (GenAI) boom has brought it back into the limelight. With the sudden popularity and prevalence of newer systems such as ChatGPT, we have seen GenAI, and even AI more broadly, enter new industries and have new use cases seemingly daily. However, with new technological development comes regulation. This is especially so in cases of high-scale and rapid development of technology that have both a potential for positive impact and growth, alongside a potential for negative consequences of misuse—just like AI.
