The Global AI Governance Landscape

Different regions are taking different approaches to AI governance. The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation, categorizing AI by risk level and banning some applications (like social scoring). The US has taken a more voluntary, sector-specific approach. China has AI regulations focused on specific applications while pursuing aggressive state AI development. These approaches will shape who benefits from AI and who bears its risks.

AI governance is being decided now — your voice in democratic processes matters.
