Intelligence Weekly Looking at AI Regulation

Weekly UpdateEquitiesInformation TechnologyCommunication Services

UBS analyzes the fragmented landscape of AI regulation, predicting a reliance on executive orders in the US and risk-based tiers in the EU. The report maintains a long-term positive outlook on AI equities, shifting focus from infrastructure capex to application monetization.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Broad US federal AI legislation is unlikely due to partisan divides; regulation will likely manifest through executive orders focusing on national security and fostering innovation.
  • 2.The investment focus in the AI rally is shifting from pure infrastructure capex toward monetization and the application/intelligence layers.
  • 3.The EU and Latin America are adopting risk-based regulatory frameworks that categorize AI activities by tiers of potential harm.
