Event Details

Join us on October 22 for an in-depth exploration of the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulatory frameworks in the Indo-Pacific region.


As governments race to establish policies for promoting, integrating, and governing AI, the resulting fragmentation of regulatory standards presents significant operational and compliance challenges for firms focused on AI and digital services. Recently The Asia Group (TAG) published a special report titled "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: Emerging AI Governance in the Indo-Pacific and Its Implications for Data-driven Business," offering a comprehensive risk analysis of this dynamic landscape.


This event will delve into two primary schools of thought among Indo-Pacific governments:

  • Pro-Innovation Approach: Countries like Japan and Singapore are betting on AI for its potential economic benefits, fostering an environment conducive to innovation.
  • Security-Centric Approach: In contrast, nations such as China and Vietnam prioritize national security concerns, leading to tighter controls on AI development.


We will also examine the emerging competition between China and the U.S. as both nations vie to shape international AI standards through UN frameworks and other channels. The speakers, coming from the business and academic, will discuss why there is no "one size fits all" regulatory model suitable for the diverse Indo-Pacific region, unlike the European Union's AI Act.


Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the regulatory challenges and implications for AI businesses in this rapidly changing environment!
