To make regulatory interdependence tractable, RegulAite develops a dedicated theoretical framework that links it to the central regulatory challenges AI poses. This framework elucidates when and how it matters for regulation at home--in this case in the EU--what other jurisdictions do. And it clarifies what, given this regulatory interdependence, effective forms of cross-border regulatory cooperation are.

Effective AI regulation is not just a question of ambitious high-level principles. It also requires much more technical, and seemingly mundane, standardization that underpins a globally integrated digital space and technology sector in the first place. Typically, this is done in private transnational organizations. But the line between technical and political standards is much more blurry than it may seem, especially when technical definitions codify politically sensitive characteristics of AI systems. Project V asks: to what degree should the EU outsource AI standard setting to private organizations?

Around the world, international organizations and transnational initiatives are working on standards for AI development and use. Some outline abstract principles; others negotiate much more concrete regulations. On the one hand, global AI standards can help create public sovereignty over these technologies. On the other hand, they may prove paper tigers and lock the EU into agreements that fall short of its own ambitions. Project IV asks: when are global AI rules the right answer to regulatory concerns?

China is one of the two globally dominant AI powers. That makes Sino-European regulatory cooperation an obvious project to pursue. At the same time, AI's military implications combined with geopolitical tensions, as well as differing visions on the role of technology in state-society relations cast their shadow. Project III asks: how and when should the EU collaborate with China in AI rule design and enforcement?
