Abstract
This presentation explores the transatlantic landscape of AI regulation through the lens of an American researcher comparing US and EU approaches. It examines how academic research can be effectively translated into practical policy considerations. By analyzing various governance initiatives and regulatory frameworks, the presentation offers pathways for academics and policymakers to collaborate more effectively in developing balanced AI oversight.
As a Fulbright Schuman scholar and graduate student in computer science at Stanford University, Nicole Tong has spent a year in Sweden and the Netherlands investigating emerging regulatory approaches to artificial intelligence in both the EU and US. Drawing on her interdisciplinary background, research, and technical experience, Nicole brings a nuanced perspective to the critical dialogue surrounding responsible AI development and transnational governance.
