. Regulating AI is difficult because the technology moves so fast, but Norway is trying anyway with an AI ban in elementary schools that took effect this month.

The challenge for Norway is clear: Nobody knows what AI will look like when incoming kindergartners reach middle school or even first grade.

A Brookings report shows a history of government oversight lagging behind. The European Union AI Act of 2021, for example, never mentions “large language model,” “transformer,” or “generative.” Early U.S. state-level laws likewise focus on concerns of a far narrower scope than what is possible today.

👇Tell us your thoughts: How can regulators keep pace? Is Norway in denial or visionary?
