Abstract: 
This paper examines the legal systems governing AI in the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) and the conditions associated with regulating the growing AI advancement. In comparing the GDPR of the European Union and the proposed AI regulation across industries such as healthcare, transportation, and the military in the United States, similarities and dissimilarities emerge in the two areas‘approaches to regulating AI. The current frameworks also lack sufficient provisions regarding ethics and bias, particularly in algorithms and general transparency. This also stresses the importance of a better global approach that would specify necessary mechanisms protecting people’s privacy and enforcing accountability and fairness of AI. The insights will be made to suggest improvements regarding the regulation of AI in both areas, as well as an insight into the global discussion about the proper deployment of applied artificial intelligence.
