# kaal:claim:2808132-001

**Claim.** Regulation is usually reactive because it responds to facts, but the current environment is one of data rather than settled facts; regulation must therefore become proactive and dynamically responsive to data and trends.

**Type.** normative  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- environments of exponential disruptive innovation
- where data on emerging trends precedes settled facts

**Source quote.**

> Disruptive innovation creates increasing regulatory challenges. The reason for this is simple: Regulation is usually reactive, responding to facts. However, we currently live in a world of data, not facts. Regulation must therefore be proactive and dynamically
