Abstract

Regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) varies significantly globally, reflecting different approaches and priorities. These trends underscore the need to balance technological innovation with rights protection and security. The purpose of this article is to examine the main trends and challenges in the regulation of AI, with a comprehensive view of how the governments of the European Union, China and the United States address this complex and crucial issue due to their involvement as great government powers. . at the economic and social pyolytic level. The study was based on a bibliographic review whose search was intentional towards publications from journals indexed in electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The findings demonstrate that the European Union has established a comprehensive framework with the AI ​​Law, imposing specific restrictions and requiring transparency to establish a global standard similar to the GDPR. China, for its part, is transitioning from a fragmented approach to more unified regulation. The introduction of a holistic AI law and the creation of a national AI office indicate an effort to consolidate its regulatory framework, improving consistency and efficiency in risk management. In the United States, regulation remains gradual and decentralized, with initiatives at both the federal and state levels. Although efforts like the AI ​​Bill of Rights are significant, the lack of a unified framework poses coherence and applicability challenges.
