The Global Policy Response to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will revolutionise and disrupt practically every industry. It will impact products and services but also the everyday lives of citizens worldwide, bringing about both socio-economic opportunities and challenges which need to be addressed early on. Governments (and industries) around the world are already engaged in a fierce AI arms-race in an early attempt to dominate the field. While global jurisdictions differ significantly in their regulatory approaches towards AI, they all share the ultimate goal of securing for themselves a top spot in this emerging field.
