Sema is building a comprehensive taxonomy of potential risks based on all forms of GenAI usage. This includes adding GenAI to your products, using GenAI as internal tools, and relying on third party GenAI vendors.
Legislation and regulation are exploding— over 250 new or modified bills are being released every week in the US alone. Our Compliance Tracker helps keep you up to date.
The database’s legislative / regulatory components range from continental policies like the EU AI Act, which just passed a major milestone towards implementation, to a newly proposed California Bill that would ban certain forms of GenAI edtech in California Community Colleges.
Conclusion
The biggest GenAI risk we have identified is getting left behind due to not using GenAI while competitors who are using GenAI leapfrog ahead.
We estimate that organizations have up to 12 months to be taking advantage of GenAI at scale.
We are building products to help you get there, responsibly.
As always, I’d welcome hearing from you.
