How do we responsibly regulate AI?
Main content
Artificial intelligence is often treated as a technical challenge, but its development, deployment, and regulation are deeply political. Who gets to shape the future of AI? What interests drive the governance landscape? Is the spread of AI challenging or reinforcing global inequalities?
This panel explores the contested politics of AI: from economy and EU regulation to ethics and democracy. As states and tech giants race to define the rules, AI is becoming an arena for political competition and regulatory experimentation.
We open with a short presentation on the forthcoming book The Global Political Economy of AI Transformation(s), which maps the newly emerging field of AI governance, before the panel discusses the highlights and pitfalls of governing AI.
