AI Regulation in the Age of Fragmentation
Hyderabad, 27th February 2025 – The Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Hyderabad, successfully hosted its fifth session of Global Immersion Program 2025, featuring Mr. Tommaso Giardini, Associate Director, Digital Policy Alert, Switzerland. The session was titled "AI Regulation in the Age of Fragmentation".
Mr. Giardini began the conversation by outlining how various regulations and digital policies are now conceived and executed, as well as the role of AI in this process. He talked about several problems, such as rule compliance with other countries and a lack of understanding of their position in terms of AI regulation.
Mr. Giardini also highlighted the operation of the tracker of all international laws and regulations, which presently contains data from approximately 220 countries and has lately included numerous South Asian and African countries. The tracker is AI-enabled and assists in presenting appropriate information with a vast range of data regarding various legislation across the covered counties. Mr. Giardini thoroughly demonstrated several qualities, one of which was giving personalized information based on the criteria used so that users could receive clear and relevant results.
Additionally, Mr. Giardini emphasized the importance of international cooperation to develop safer AI rules. He also discussed Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) principles and the importance of bridging the gap between international standards and national legislation in order to maximize the impact of AI policies.
The event finished with an interactive Q&A section in which IMT Hyderabad students engaged in thought-provoking exchanges with Mr. Tommaso Giardini. Prof. (Dr.) Nitin Gupta concluded the session by thanking Mr. Giardini for the immersive experience and information he shared with the students.
