- “Further, the sophistication, availability and use of artificial intelligence by threat actors present an increased level of risk.”
- “Furthermore, the regulatory framework around the development and use of emerging artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies is rapidly evolving, and many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations related to AI, machine learning, large language models, and additional emerging data technologies.”
- “Already, certain existing legal regimes (e.g., relating to data privacy) regulate certain aspects of AI technologies, and new laws regulating AI technologies have entered into force in the EU and United States.”
