BRG Report: Corporate Leaders Don't Believe Future AI Policy Will Be Effective

Only a third have confidence artificial intelligence regulations will keep pace and provide necessary protections.

As debates over how to regulate artificial intelligence heat up, new research reveals concerns over current and future policy effectiveness—and a lack of compliance readiness. Only about one-third of corporate leaders believe current regulations are very effective and that future policy will provide necessary guardrails, according to BRG's Global AI Regulation Report.

Drawing on survey responses from over 200 corporate leaders and executive-level lawyers in diverse industries around the world—plus in-depth interviews with executives, attorneys and BRG experts—the new report assesses where AI regulation currently stands, challenges organizations face in complying and what key stakeholders see as most important for the development of effective AI policy. The report includes breakdowns of data in key industries (retail and consumer goods, technology and financial services), regions (North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Asia–Pacific) and roles (lawyers and executives).
