NY Lawmaker on AI Bills: Too Specific Gets Outdated, Too Broad Is Unenforceable
jachiam0 · x · 2026-09-28
New York lawmaker Alex Bores spoke at UNESCO's Digital Learning Week in Paris about the core trade-off in drafting AI safety legislation:
- Bills that are too specific and focused risk being outdated by the time they become law;
- Bills that are too broad and flexible are much harder to enforce compliance with.
He argues the obvious answer is legislation that finds a middle ground, but admits it's easier said than done — a first-hand view of the structural tension between timeliness and enforceability in AI regulation.
