RegulatingAI, spearheaded by Indian American Sanjay Puri, convened a congressional briefing on global AI governance, urging US Congress to confront pivotal issues surrounding AI regulation. The event, held on Capitol Hill on March 29, emphasized the critical need to address diverse perspectives, ethical considerations, transparency, privacy, and international alignment in AI governance.
Highlighting the urgency of these concerns, the briefing stressed collaboration among stakeholders to advocate for responsible AI practices. Featuring two panel discussions with global experts, including representatives from the US, EU, India, and Africa, the event aimed to foster dialogue on harmonizing AI regulation across borders.
Sanjay Puri, in the first panel, underscored the significance of global harmonization in AI regulation, emphasizing its boundaryless nature. The second panel, moderated by Michael Taylor of RegulatingAI, echoed Puri’s sentiments, addressing the unique challenges posed by transformative technologies like AI to governments and regulators.
Key attendees at the briefing included Chiefs of Staff and Legislative Directors from Congressional offices, highlighting the importance of these discussions in informing AI legislation. With AI’s increasing prominence globally, standardized policies and governance frameworks are imperative to shape its future regulation.
