In his special report published with the National Bureau of Asian Research, Cole McFaul highlights recent policy developments in the U.S. approach to AI governance and examines the state of U.S.-ROK AI research collaboration. Noting that the U.S. has thus far been cautious to avoid imposing excessive regulations on the AI sector, he emphasizes the need for global cooperation among like-minded countries to find common policy approaches. Given the shared interests and values of the U.S. and South Korea, he concludes that there is a significant opportunity for the two countries to play a leading role in establishing global AI norms and frameworks.

“As AI is used to transform key industries, affect military systems and operations, and distort information environments around the world, the United States will need to rely on its allies and partners to shape how the nascent technology is adopted globally,” said Cole McFaul.
