Abstract
To legislate high-growth technology requires fine-tuned balance, but the current state of AI legislation swings in favor of AI providers given U.S. lawmakers near non-existent response. From healthcare to education, the financial industry to the legal field, AI has gained a grip stronger than any legal band-aid lawmakers might believe to be in place and protecting consumers. I argue that based on a survey of current U.S. legislation, AI providers are being given the chance to have their cake and eat it too at the expense of consumers’ rights. Such a perfectly permissible feast is why lawmakers must promptly and rigorously regulate the handling of consumer data, especially that which involves consumers’ personal information.
