SUMMARY:Keynote speech: Beyond the Brussels effect: mapping the sovereign
  AI landscape across Washington\, Beijing\, and broader Asia
DESCRIPTION:When the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) first took
  effect in the EU\, global legal and regulatory discourse heavily focuse
 d on the so-called ‘Brussels effect’. Recently\, however\, as AI takes t
 he centre stage\, the imperative for sovereign AI has emerged as a new d
 efining catalyst. In response\, the US is actively asserting control ove
 r cross-border data flows on national security grounds – such as through
  bulk data transfer rules – while tightening oversight on advanced AI mo
 dels following events like the Mythos Preview incident. Concurrently\, C
 hina seeks to extend its strategic influence through initiatives like th
 e World AI Cooperation Organization\, while Asian nations\, including Ja
 pan\, Singapore and South Korea\, are pioneering diverse frameworks to a
 ccelerate domestic AI innovation. As the prospects for a harmonised glob
 al AI governance framework remain uncertain\, legal professionals must s
 tep up to serve as essential navigators through this increasingly comple
 x policy and regulatory landscape.
