AI Governance in Divergent Regulatory Landscapes
Florence G’sell & Nate Persily
This joint presentation offers two complementary perspectives on the governance of artificial intelligence in the context of contrasting regulatory approaches.
Florence G’sell’s presentation, "AI Governance in a World with EU Regulation," examines the European Union’s regulatory architecture, with particular emphasis on the EU AI Act and related instruments. It analyzes how binding legal obligations structure AI development, influence innovation trajectories, and potentially shape global standards. The presentation also interrogates the contemporary reach of the so-called "Brussels Effect" and its implications for transnational AI governance.
Nate Persily’s presentation, "AI Governance in a World Without U.S. Regulation," explores the development, deployment, and oversight of AI in an environment characterized by the absence of comprehensive federal regulation. It highlights the roles of market-driven governance, industry self-regulation, state-level initiatives, and private standard-setting. This U.S.-focused perspective underscores how, in a regulatory vacuum, innovation proceeds through voluntary mechanisms, while also exposing vulnerabilities in consumer protection, algorithmic accountability, and systemic risk oversight.
Together, these presentations aim to illuminate how divergent governance philosophies—interventionist versus laissez-faire—shape the evolution of AI technologies, stakeholder strategies, and societal outcomes. The comparative analysis seeks to clarify how AI governance may unfold in the coming years, given the increasingly divergent regulatory paths on either side of the Atlantic.
