The State of AI Regulation Across the Globe NoC Learning Call Tuesday, 28 May 2024 | 9.00 AM EST or GMT-4 Online (Zoom) Registration: https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/state-ai-regulation-across-globe Artificial intelligence remains in the regulatory hot sea, with governments racing to develop new and refined regulations and protections for AI. While the EU AI Act is the first mover in the space and the Brussels effect is in play, countries across the globe weigh the key issues of risks, rights, and economic opportunity against the needs of their region. In this learning call, we’ll learn about different approaches to AI regulation from policy experts from Africa, Latin America, North America, and Europe. We will discuss how national priorities are implemented in different regions, how the EU AI Act has a global impact, how Rwanda and Brazil serve as new models of AI regulation, and how governments, such as the US, take sectoral, legislative, and regulatory bodies approaches to AI governance.
