AI’s rapid and widespread integration into daily life has created significant regulatory challenges. The overlap be- tween AI and multiple legal fields complicates the devel- opment of a cohesive regulatory framework. Even though existing laws, such as consumer laws and intellectual property laws, regulate some aspects of AI, they are often insufficient due to their lack of specificity in addressing the unique challenges of AI technologies, such as cross-border data flows and intellectual property rights for AI-generated content. Such insufficiencies include current intellectual property laws’ incapacity in determining the ownership and protection of works in AI systems, leading to legal uncertainties that can hinder innovation and global trade. Another challenge is international trade laws’ insufficien- cy in fully accounting for the complexities introduced by AI-driven products and services, such as unclarity in clas- sifying AI products as goods or services.
