Dr. Nathan C. Walker contributed a chapter to Aspen Digital’s Defining Technologies of Our Time: Artificial Intelligence, a handbook of expert analyses exploring how AI is defined across US law and policy, and why those definitions matter. Dr. Walker’s article shows that the current federal law predates the public release of generative AI systems and that several federal agencies continue to incorrectly cite the outdated 2018 legal definition of AI.
