The market research firm Omdia published a report on August 28, 2025, titled "AI Evolution Outpaces Regulation," which analyzes the growing gap between the speed of technological development and the ability of lawmakers to create adequate legal frameworks. The report highlights that the emergence of new classes of AI, such as autonomous agents and complex generative video models, is creating "regulatory gray areas." For businesses, this translates to increased risks: companies investing in advanced AI solutions may find their products outlawed by new regulations. Omdia urges businesses not to wait for government regulation but to proactively develop and implement internal ethics codes and AI risk management systems. For lawmakers, the report recommends creating more flexible, principle-based, rather than technology-specific, regulations that can adapt to future innovations without stifling them.
