Live on the record
Should AI-generated content be labelled?
Governments require disclosure in different forms. Technical duties, responsible actors and enforcement models still diverge.
Should frontier models face mandatory evaluations?
Evaluation language is widespread in policy texts. Thresholds, evaluators and legal consequences remain contested.
Should AI data centres face growth controls?
Electricity, water, local consent and national competitiveness are turning compute infrastructure into a policy fight.
Should intergovernmental AI principles guide national rules?
Soft-law instruments such as the OECD AI Recommendation supply shared definitions that many jurisdictions then incorporate, revise or ignore.
Should states implement UNESCO’s AI ethics recommendation?
UNESCO’s 2021 recommendation is a global ethics standard; the open policy question is how far states turn its principles into domestic duties.
Should states join binding AI human-rights treaties?
The Council of Europe Framework Convention is open for signature. The live dispute is ratification and domestic effect, not whether a treaty text exists.
Should advanced AI chips face export controls?
US export controls already treat advanced computing integrated circuits as regulated items. The dispute is scope, partners and effectiveness.
Should states prefer AI promotion statutes to horizontal bans?
Japan’s Act No. 53 of 2025 promotes AI development and directs guidelines. Whether that model outcompetes bans-heavy statutes remains contested.
Should watermarking standards be mandatory?
Open provenance standards such as C2PA already exist. The dispute is whether law should require them or leave adoption voluntary.
Should sector regulators own AI rules instead of a horizontal act?
The UK white paper and Singapore’s Model Framework both privilege existing regulators or voluntary tools over an early omnibus AI Act.
