What happens when intelligence itself is deregulated? In this second episode of our three-part Deregulation series, we unpack how nations are rewriting or erasing the rulebook for artificial intelligence.

From Washington’s “innovation-first” approach to Brussels’ guardrails and Beijing’s enforcement muscle, we trace how the global AI race is reshaping governance, compliance, and trust itself.

🎧 Featuring:

• Adetoyese: anchor and strategic advisor on governance and compliance.

• Phoebe: policy analyst and regulatory strategist translating complex AI frameworks into practical insight.

• Alfred: senior compliance leader and regulatory thinker connecting risk, ethics, and business resilience.

Across 35 minutes, the trio navigate:

• The U.S.’s fragmented but fast-moving AI landscape, where regulation trails innovation.

• Europe’s AI Act and GDPR interplay — now fully enforceable, with real penalties in play.

• The U.K.’s sandbox model blending flexibility with accountability.

• Asia’s regulatory mosaic — from China’s hard controls to Singapore’s principles-driven trust frameworks.

• The Middle East’s and Africa’s emerging voices — how regions like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Nigeria, and Kenya are adapting global rules to local innovation.

Through real-world examples, you’ll see what this means for GRC professionals: building resilience across fractured jurisdictions, adapting governance to new AI realities, and leading trust in an age where algorithms, not policies, make the first move.

As Alfred reminds us in this episode’s closing words:

“Resilience isn’t about surviving regulation — it’s about translating it into opportunity.”
