The Beginner's Guide to AI Governance

This is the introduction to a seven-lesson series drawn from the author's notes on the London School of Economics' programme on AI Law, Policy, and Governance, written for readers who want to understand how AI is being regulated without reading the regulations themselves. The lessons cover why AI is a policy problem, how AI rules get made, six ways to govern AI, the EU AI Act, China, the UK and the US, and the international arena. The author notes the material reflects their own reading, is not endorsed by LSE, and will date quickly as AI governance moves fast.
