Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming daily life. In capitals around the world, debates over how to regulate AI are accelerating.
About this Event

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming daily life. In capitals around the world, debates over how – and whether – to regulate AI have intensified, triggering broader debates about national security, innovation, civil rights, economic impacts, and democratic accountability. Governments at all levels are grappling with how to establish rules and norms for AI technologies that are evolving faster than any previous technology and that strain traditional regulatory frameworks. Even if governance is possible, there will be a contest over who defines the rules – and whose values become embedded in them.

Panelists will explore the tension between innovation vs. regulation, federal uniformity vs. state experimentation, and national competitiveness vs. global norms.

This event is co-sponsored by UVA's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the International Relations Organization.

You can attend this event in-person at the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in Charlottesville or as a webinar.
