Economic ​Statecraft​ and International Regime ​Building to Manage AI​

Synopsis: The rise of new economic statecraft with intervention by governments to regulate investment and trade behind the border, at the border, and beyond the border continues to create tension in the global economy across a host of sectors. In particular, national governments are increasingly focused on the regulation of artificial intelligence.  For its part, the EU has also taken a leadership role in developing AI regulation, despite being behind the U.S. and China in terms of development of the industry.  Given the challenges of managing AI, what avenues might we see for the development of an international regime to manage national intervention in the AI sector?
