BEYOND REGULATION:
PRIVATE GOVERNANCE & OVERSIGHT MECHANISMS FOR AI 

Private governance refers to the creation of standards, frameworks or incentives by private actors like companies and industry associations, instead of state or government entities, to guide behaviour. 

This workshop convenes technical and governance communities for knowledge exchange on how private governance mechanisms may work in tandem with government regulation and connect technical insights into incentives and requirements for responsible development & deployment of AI.

Goals of the workshop

Attendees will gain opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, a clearer view of how private governance can advance public-interest goals, and a better understanding of the policy and regulatory implications of market-based oversight. This workshop provides the space to convene the necessary expertise to grow private governance in AI as an emerging field.
