AI Regulation Across Borders: Who’s Setting the Rules—and Why It Matters

Led by: Vance Ricks

What does it mean to “regulate” artificial intelligence? And who gets to decide how to do that? Around the world, governments and international organizations are taking different approaches to shaping the future of AI—some focused on technological advancement, others on human rights, safety, or geopolitical competition. You’ll gain a clear picture of key actors, the goals driving their efforts, and the tradeoffs each approach entails. Whether you’re working in technology, policy, or public service, this workshop will help you build foundational knowledge to engage with the fast-evolving regulatory landscape.

  • Describe the main goals and rationales behind efforts to regulate AI
  • Identify key national and international actors involved in AI governance
  • Compare different regulatory approaches between countries and across regions
  • Understand how regulatory decisions may affect public sector work and public services
