Regulating Algorithms: What Governments Around the World Are Doing—and What Public Servants Should know
Led by: Luca Cominassi & Mihir Kshirsagar
Governments globally are experimenting with new laws, policies, and administrative rules to govern automated systems. This workshop translates those approaches into practical insights for U.S. public servants. Participants will examine how jurisdictions distinguish between low-risk and high-risk automation, how they use transparency and redress requirements, and how to translate these emerging standards into agency action today.
-
Understand the major regulatory approaches (EU GDPR, AI Act, Kenya, South Africa, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, New York).
-
Distinguish bright-line bans, transparency models, and redress mechanisms.
-
Learn how different jurisdictions define “critical decisions,” “automation,” and “meaningful human involvement.”
-
Apply global lessons to agency policy, contracting, and oversight decisions.
This workshop is part of an InnovateUS Series called Prediction, Automation, and Decision Making
