As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates worldwide, CIPE experts continue to shape global and regional debates on how to govern emerging technologies in ways that support market development, innovation, and democratic values.
In an article published by Diplomatic Courier, Louisa Tomar, Director of Digital Economy and Governance at the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), examines how global AI governance has largely stalled despite years of multilateral negotiations. Referencing recent international discussions, including India’s AI Impact Summit, Tomar argues that voluntary, nonbinding commitments have failed to keep pace with rapid AI deployment.
Drawing on CIPE’s market-oriented approach to policy reform, the article makes the case for regional AI governance frameworks as a more practical and competitive alternative for emerging economies. Regional approaches, Tomar explains, can reduce regulatory uncertainty, lower compliance costs, support market creation, and better align governance with local economic realities—turning regulation from a barrier into an enabler for investment and innovation.
