Regulating the Future: Why Our Laws Are Already Obsolete

We regulate technology like it’s a museum exhibit: slow, rigid, and always one step behind. AI, Web3, and quantum computing don’t wait for policymakers to catch up. The question is: do we build laws that evolve, or keep playing catch-up until it’s too late?

Emerging technologies evolve exponentially, yet regulations remain siloed and reactive. The EU AI Act is already outdated, failing to account for AI agents and new architectures.

Meanwhile, disparate laws for AI, Web3, and cybersecurity create confusion rather than clarity:

• A comprehensive regulatory model could unify oversight across technologies.
• AI and blockchain can complement each other; AI for efficiency, blockchain for trust.
• Proactive frameworks like a “Truth in Technology Act” could establish universal principles.

Regulation should not be a response to disruption; it should guide it. Can we create an evergreen framework that evolves alongside innovation, or will laws remain relics of a past that no longer exists?
