Governments regulate many things.
Background
Some AI policy proposals involve regulating the hardware used to train and run AI models. To better understand how this could work, it might be useful to look at how other things have been regulated.
This page consists of a list of regulated things that might be relevant for thinking about how to regulate hardware.
Examples
The list below contains the following columns:
- What: The thing that is being regulated.
- Who: What level of government has passed and enforces the regulated.
- How Much: Many regulations only apply if someone owns more than a certain amount of the regulated thing. X-ray machines are unusual in that the creation method for the x-rays is regulated, rather than the amount of x-rays produced.
- Type: Some regulations put a limit on the maximum amount someone can own before more stringent regulations apply. For others, someone can buy more than that, but it requires a license or a prescription from someone with a license. Regulations can also require the owner to register any of the regulated thing.
