"Artificial intelligence (AI) is a label that can cover a huge range of
activities related to machines undertaking tasks with or without human
intervention. Our understanding of AI technologies is largely shaped by where
we encounter them, from facial recognition tools and chatbots to photo editing
software and self-driving cars.

If you think of AI you might think of tech companies, from existing giants such
as Google, Meta, Alibaba and Baidu, to new players such as OpenAI, Anthropic
and others. Less visible are the world’s governments, which are shaping the
landscape of rules in which AI systems will operate.

Since 2016, tech-savvy regions and nations across Europe, Asia-Pacific and
North America have been establishing regulations targeting AI technologies.
(Australia is lagging behind, still currently investigating the possibility of
such rules.)

Currently, there are more than 1,600 AI policies and strategies globally. The
European Union, China, the United States and the United Kingdom have emerged as
pivotal figures in shaping the development and governance of AI in the global
landscape."
