The Process of Policy: Artificial Intelligence

Governments across the world have begun the process of investigating, crafting and imposing regulations on AI since the release of ChatGPT-3 in November 2023 forced regulators to pay attention to the otherwise quiet AI industry. Achieving policy regulation that is flexible enough to be responsive to rapid changes in technology, tailored enough to encourage positive developments, and is created by competent yet disinterested regulators is the emerging policy processes challenge of our time. This panel will explore the various concerns and considerations in the area of policymaking for an AI world.
