History

Historical Context

After the Obama administration’s 2016 White House report outlined ten voluntary AI principles, subsequent steps—including the 2022 AI Bill of Rights, the 2023 voluntary commitments by seven leading AI firms, and the EU’s 2024 AI Act—shaped a framework of industry self-regulation. The 2024 pact signed by Donald Trump, 15 candidates and major CEOs mirrors that voluntary lineage, aiming for moral binding and audit mechanisms.
