As with most emerging and/or enabling technologies that do not have a specific dedicated legal framework, we often find that exploring existing laws need to be interpreted in view of the current technological realties to find relevance and legal recourse. AI is a perfect example of this issue, in addition to other issues such as Web3, metaverse and, until recently, virtual assets/crypto (prior to the UAE financial regulators issuing specific regulations and guidance, as well as the establishment of the world's first dedicated virtual asset regulator in Dubai — the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA)).

U.S House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would preserve some of the clean energy tax credits enacted under President Joe Biden but would seek to eliminate others, as an upcoming battle over taxes next year comes into focus in Washington. In an interview with CNBC, the Louisiana Republican said it would be impossible to "blow up" the entirety of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping climate and economic package signed into law in 2022.

Crypto lending is similar to a traditional lending model in that users can borrow and lend cryptocurrencies in exchange for a fee or interest. However, these loans use digital currency as collateral, similar to a securities-based loan. The basic principle works like a mortgage loan or auto loan — you pledge your crypto assets to obtain the loan and pay it off over time.

The Federal Reserve's top banking regulator expressed caution Tuesday about the impact that artificial intelligence can have on efforts to make sure underserved communities have fair access to housing. Michael Barr, the Fed's vice chair for supervision, said AI technology has the potential to get credit to "people who otherwise can't access it." However, he noted that it also can be used for nefarious means, specifically to exclude certain communities from housing opportunities through a process traditionally called "redlining." "While these technologies have enormous potential, they also carry risks of violating fair lending laws and perpetuating the very disparities that they have the potential to address," Barr said in prepared remarks for the National Fair Housing Alliance.
