Issue Balancing regulation and innovation in implementing the AI Basic Act

Summary

Beyond larger investment, the report argues that AI and science policy must raise system productivity by balancing regulation with innovation, wider use with privacy protection, and talent with supply chain stability. In implementing the AI Basic Act, industry has argued that excessive regulation could hinder innovation. Others have raised the need for stronger safety, and rules on processing personal data sit at the core of the dispute. In science and technology, debates have emerged over shifting to negative regulation that permits innovation by default and over reforming the R&D system. The report pairs these debates with policy continuity and effectiveness, intellectual property protection and international cooperation as tasks ahead.
