2022 will be a key year to see where regulatory approaches to Artificial Intelligence will be heading. At this stage, from Brazil to the US and from China to the EU, “risk” is the anchor of the many of these regulatory initiatives whether in hard norms, smart rules or standardisation. This panel will bring four regional perspectives to the discussion to see if these approaches are truly divergent or just different manifestations of a bigger idea – protecting societies from AI-related risk. It will pay particular attention to how countries and jurisdictions, such as Australia, reluctant to make any moves at this stage could be faring in the global regulatory landscape.
