The AI dilemma in regulation (balancing safety with innovation) is universal, yet each jurisdiction pursues unique solutions. China, the EU, and the U.S. each take distinct approaches to harness AI's potential while mitigating its risks. At the same time, AI ethics principles have emerged worldwide, revealing both common ground and notable differences across legal and ethical frameworks. This article examines how major jurisdictions regulate AI, the varied directions they take, and the underlying rationales driving their approaches.
