Agility in regulation requires mechanisms for sunsetting obsolete policies as technology matures.
The Art of Sunset: Why Agile Regulation is the Future of Innovation Introduction For decades, the regulatory lifecycle has operated on a “set it and forget it” mentality. Legislators draft rules to address the challenges of today, but these regulations often outlive the technologies they were designed to govern. This “regulatory rot”—where obsolete policies stifle…
