Sure. Getting appropriate new laws enacted is an important element. From the paper:
Initially, in addition to adopting existing bodies of law to implement AISVL, existing processes for how laws are drafted, enacted, enforced, litigated, and maintained would be preserved.
Thereafter, new laws and improvements to existing laws and processes must continually be introduced to make the systems more robust, fair, nimble, efficient, consistent, understandable, accepted, complied with, and enforced.
I’d say the EU AI Act (and similar) work addresses the “new laws” imperative. (I won’t comment (much) on pros and cons of its content. In general, it seems pretty good. I wonder if they considered adding Etzioni’s first law to the mix, “An AI system must be subject to the full gamut of laws that apply to humans”? That is what I meant by “adopting existing bodies of law to implement AISVL.” The item in the EU AI Act about designing generative AIs to not generate illegal content is related.)
The more interesting work will be on improving legal processes along the dimensions listed above. And really interesting will be, as AIs get more autonomous and agentic, the “instilling” part where AIs must dynamically recognize and comply with the legal-moral corpora appropriate to the contexts they find themselves in.
