    Regulation Priorities for Artificial
      Intelligence Foundation Models


                          Matthew  R. Gaske*

                              ABSTRACT

       This Article responds to the call in technology law literature for
high-level frameworks  to guide regulation of the development and use of
Artificial Intelligence (AI)  technologies. Accordingly,  it adapts   a
generalized form of the fintech Innovation Trilemma framework  to argue
that a  regulatory scheme  can prioritize only two of three aims  when
considering  Al  oversight: (1) promoting   innovation, (2) mitigating
systemic  risk,  and  (3)  providing  clear  regulatory  requirements.
Specifically, this Article expressly connects legal scholarship to research
in other fields focusing on foundation model Al systems and explores this
kind  of  system's  implications  for  regulation priorities from   the
geopolitical and commercial  competitive contexts. These models are so-
named   because they have a novel ability to easily apply their resources
across a broad  variety of use cases, unlike prior AI technologies. These
systems,  such  as  OpenAl's  ChatGPT or Alphabet's LaMDA, have
recently rocketed to popularity and have the potential to fundamentally
change  many   areas of life. Yet, legal scholarship examining  AI has
insufficiently recognized  the  role of  international  and   corporate
competition   in such   a  transformational   field. Considering   that
competitive  context and  the  Trilemma,   this Article argues from   a
descriptive perspective that solely one policy prioritization choice is
needed:  whether   to  emphasize   systemic  risk mitigation  or  clear
requirements, given that prioritizing innovation is effectively a given for
many   governmental and private actors. Next, regulation should
