Legislators in the United States and Europe are moving quickly to regulate artificial intelligence to minimize its risks to privacy, safety, and security while benefiting from its efficiencies in industry, governance, and society.
While the European Union has moved ahead with more omnibus legislation like the AI Act, the Digital Services Act, and the General Data Protection Regulation, the US and the UK are exploring approaches that differ from the EU in both scope and focus.
This event will bring together a group of scholars with an international focus on the different kinds of AI regulation and their consequences. The speakers will explore the human values served by these different models, their compatibility with each other and other frameworks, and their possible effects on our world.
This public (in person) seminar concerns policy areas of significant interest to policymakers, and the wider public.
The topics also have significant appeal nationally and internationally.
It will also have policy impact in terms of national policymaking, particularly given forthcoming reforms to UK data protection law and forthcoming UK legislation on AI.
