For companies building AI systems, complying with regulations is essential to earning consumer trust, avoiding potential penalties, and ensuring they can continue operating in two of the world’s largest consumer markets.
Asian companies embedded in the global AI ecosystem face dual costs of complying with different EU and US rules, according to Martina Socharzewska, senior technology analyst at BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions.
“Organizations operating in both jurisdictions must build parallel compliance structures, and the cost of doing so is not trivial,” she said.
The implications are important because Asian technology companies play critical roles in AI, from semiconductor and memory chip makers from Taiwan and South Korea to cloud infrastructure developers.
