In response to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), various legal systems have created different regulatory and supervisory interventions for this technology. While some countries prioritize consumer protection by imposing stringent regulations, others adopt a more permissive approach to promote innovation. However, comparing different models of AI regulation can help find the right balance between innovation and protecting consumers against the risks of AI. This paper, using a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative study, seeks to answer the question of what Iran's regulatory policy on artificial intelligence is. An examination of AI regulatory models in the European Union, the United States, and China indicates that each legal system must organize this matter according to its own objectives, policies, requirements, and characteristics of the legal system and technology. Iran's legal system suffers from serious structural and normative gaps in responding to this technology and other emerging technologies like AI. In 2021, the Supreme Leader of Iran declared the development of AI technology and its related systems as one of the country's macro-policies. However, the policy of developing artificial intelligence without addressing these structural and normative gaps not only potentially endangers the rights of citizens but also seriously challenges the development of AI-based businesses.
