As AI regulation ramps up around the world, the policy choices made today could shape its long-term trajectory. Japan recently passed the AI Promotion Act, which frames AI as critical infrastructure for national growth, security, and innovation. The law promotes AI usage and education without imposing hard enforcement or penalties. Meanwhile, the U.S. has released an AI Action Plan aimed at innovation leadership, deregulation, and global influence.

This month, Harold Godsoe will walk us through the key points of both policies and how they compare. Join us to discuss what these approaches signal about the future of AI—and how they might impact AI safety and governance.
