Government Regulation and Policy on AI
Governments worldwide took major steps to regulate AI in 2025, marking the first serious attempts to govern this fast-moving technology. In the European Union, the landmark EU AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive AI law – was finalized and began its phased implementation. The AI Act formally entered into force in August 2024, and by February 2025 its first provisions kicked in, banning certain “unacceptable risk” AI uses (like social scoring systems) across Europeogletree.com. The law imposes strict requirements on “high-risk” AI (such as algorithms used in healthcare or hiring) and is expected to become a global benchmark for AI governanceartificialintelligenceact.euogletree.com.
The United States, while lacking a single omnibus AI law, saw a flurry of activity: the White House issued executive orders aiming to establish a national AI framework and to preempt conflicting state lawssquirepattonboggs.com. U.S. regulators also pursued targeted rules – for instance, in May the TAKE IT DOWN Act was signed into law, criminalizing the non-consensual publishing of intimate deepfake images and requiring platforms to remove such contentcrowell.com. Meanwhile, China moved quickly to enforce AI rules it had introduced: new regulations there require advance security reviews and watermarking for generative AI services, aligning with Beijing’s emphasis on controlling misinformation and “harmful” content.
Other nations and blocs from Canada to India also drafted or enacted AI guidelines, often inspired by the EU’s risk-based approach. Internationally, 2025 saw a flurry of AI diplomacy – the U.N., OECD, G7, and others convened summits on AI standards and safetyhai.stanford.edu. The U.N. even held its first-ever Security Council debate on AI and called for a global ban on certain autonomous weapons. While a global regulatory regime remains distant, the gap between AI’s breakneck growth and the policy response began to narrow in 2025, with early laws and regulations now in place to rein in the technology’s risks.
