X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">Discussio
 ns of AI regulation often revolve around comparisons to a perceived global 
 benchmark\, with the EU AI Act positioned as the leading model. This panel 
 shifts the lens. We explore what can be learned from the wide range of AI g
 overnance strategies developing across Asia. Governments in the region are 
 experimenting with diverse regulatory tools\, institutional structures\, an
 d policy priorities that reflect their unique social\, economic\, and techn
 ological contexts. By bringing these approaches into conversation\, the pan
 el aims to broaden the global regulatory dialogue and surface insights that
  may otherwise be overlooked in Eurocentric or single-model comparisons. Pl
 ease help us get a headcount for dinner by <a href="https://www.eventbrite.
