Abstract
This symposium explores global challenges of innovation and regulation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies. As a scholarly and global community, we need to focus on how innovation and regulatory approaches influence, and are influenced by, advancements in AI. The differential speeds in innovation, available venture capital and regulatory guardrails create potential for both competition and collaboration. Scholars from regions including the EU, US, China, and other parts of the world will share diverse perspectives, addressing opportunities and challenges in fostering innovation while navigating regulatory complexities. The session brings together researchers whose work bridges academic theory and practical insights. Its goal is to advance theoretical understanding and provide actionable ideas and research opportunities for academics and practitioners in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
