Digital Power and Ethical AI: Competing Visions for Governance, within the section Navigating the Geopolitics of Strategic Technology.

ICPC Contribution

In his presentation, Nicola Palladino examined how the United States, China, and the European Union are shaping distinct yet interrelated models of AI governance. The talk contrasted a U.S. approach centred on market-driven innovation and elements of self-regulation, a Chinese paradigm emphasising state control, security, and data localisation under a broader rubric of digital sovereignty, and a European trajectory of digital constitutionalism that embeds fundamental rights and democratic oversight. The comparative lens highlighted how these regulatory logics coexist and interact, while making international alignment on AI governance increasingly difficult.
