Commentary: AI is considered "World changing" by policymakers, but it's unclear how to ensure positive outcomes.
According to a new Clifford Chance survey of 1,000 tech policy experts across the United States, U.K., Germany and France, policymakers are concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence, but perhaps not nearly enough.
Though policymakers rightly worry about cybersecurity, it's perhaps too easy to focus on near-term, obvious threats while the longer-term, not-obvious-at-all threats of AI get ignored.

Arguably, a much bigger deal, because what, exactly, will policymakers do through regulation to improve cybersecurity? Last I checked, hackers violate all sorts of laws to crack into corporate databases.
Speaking of GDPR, don't be surprised that, according to the survey, policymakers like the idea of enhanced operational requirements around AI like the mandatory notification of users every time they interact with an AI system.
