Generative AI is revolutionizing the creator economy, boosting innovation and delivering outstanding returns on investment. However, as AI systems become more integrated into various sectors, including advertising, concerns around consumer protection, data privacy, and intellectual property have risen to the forefront of regulatory discussions.
States and the federal government are grappling with the need to establish frameworks that ensure AI technologies are developed and deployed responsibly, safeguarding consumers from potential risks such as biased decision-making, algorithmic transparency, deepfakes, and unfair market practices. As AI technology continues to advance, these regulatory efforts will play a pivotal role in shaping a fair, secure, and transparent digital ecosystem.
