This lack of regulation raises concerns about how AI will be used responsibly, especially in sensitive areas like surveillance and data privacy. As the country dives headfirst into new tech without proper oversight, it risks falling behind in establishing ethical guidelines, which could have significant implications for civil liberties and democratic governance in the region.
