    Abstract

    Emerging Technologies Have always challenged traditional regulatory regimes [1]. This is not new nor is this tension likely to change anytime soon given the increasing speed at which embryonic technologies are emerging into the market [2]. Some of these technologies, such as autonomous vehicles or drones, can be effectively regulated at the national level due to clearly defined jurisdictional boundaries and the existence of relevant national and state/provincial regulatory agencies that oversee their conventional counterparts. While the entry of these technologies into the market will challenge regulators and policymakers and may require tweaking of existing regimes, we argue that these technologies, and the products that they enable, will not require a sui generis response at the national and supranational levels. The same cannot be said for artificial intelligence (AI) and the myriad of interconnected and interwoven applications made possible by AI.
