Abstract

Artificial intelligence has rapidly affected all areas of our lives, so it was necessary to start thinking about its regulation. However, different states have adopted various approaches to this regulation so that specific differences can be perceived between them. The article analyzes the strategies and approaches to regulation in the EU and China, including an assessment of their key differences and similarities.
