AI governance trends: How regulation, collaboration, and skills demand are shaping the industry

World Economic Forum (Sep 1, 2024) "AI governance trends: How regulation, collaboration and skills demand are shaping the industry" maps 2024 milestones. Regulation: the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act passed into law after years of debate, alongside new AI safety institutes launched in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan. Collaboration: multi-stakeholder coordination through the AI Governance Alliance brings together industry, governments, academia and civil society to build inclusive, accountable AI frameworks; governments are urged to foster public-private partnerships. Skills: rising demand for AI-trained professionals to address governance needs. The piece points to ISO/IEC 42001 as the management-system standard for AI. Useful read-out for SEA mid-market boards tracking AI regulatory convergence.
