The Qatar International Academy for Security Studies (QIASS) partnered with the American Chamber of Commerce in Qatar (AmCham) to conduct a workshop titled “Balancing Innovation & Compliance in AI: A Practical Approach,” focusing on the intersection of AI innovation and regulation. The event brought together leaders from various sectors to explore risk management methodologies and strategies for responsible AI deployment.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into business and social life, offering significant potential while also raising substantial risks such as algorithmic bias and privacy concerns. As regulatory bodies like the European Union work to establish frameworks for AI liability, organizations must navigate the complexities of legal responsibilities associated with AI systems.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed House Bill 2094, which aimed to establish a legal framework for AI, highlighting the sufficiency of existing laws in regulating AI-related issues. This decision reflects a growing trend among states to reconsider hasty AI regulations and emphasize existing legal protections for consumers.

South Africa’s national AI policy is viewed as a positive step, but experts are concerned about its lack of strict consequences for organizations that violate ethical AI practices. This could hinder accountability and compliance, potentially leading to negative implications for local businesses as they adopt AI technologies.
