Description
Charting a consistent course through the varying regulatory regimes on matters such as privacy, employment, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is difficult in a global environment. Companies thrive on the right combination of uniformity and local adaptation. When is it best to adopt a single policy aligned with a leading source of regulation, such as the EU, and when is it better to adopt policies more tailored to the local requirements?
