Current laws already cover many AI use cases effectively.

Existing frameworks already address biases and ensure fairness without reinventing the wheel. If an AI-driven healthcare app misdiagnoses a patient, current product liability laws hold companies accountable. AI tools used in hiring must not introduce bias, and anti-discrimination laws like the Civil Rights Act already govern hiring practices and can be applied to AI-driven decisions. Instead of focusing on the technology itself, regulations should target how AI is used through these established legal frameworks.
