Lecture 13
Rest of the World Approaches to AI Governance
National & International Approaches to AI Governance
This lecture examines the diverse and evolving approaches to AI governance, covering China, India, and regional approaches in Southeast Asia and Africa. We situate these approaches in broader debates on technology regulation and global power asymmetries. By analyzing the institutional, legal, and normative frameworks emerging across these regions, the lecture highlights how local political economies, developmental priorities, and sociotechnical contexts shape distinct governance trajectories. It further considers the implications of these regional strategies for global governance, exploring whether they contribute to convergence toward shared norms or reinforce a more plural, fragmented landscape of AI regulation.
