Non-Western regulatory models, such as India's emphasis on digital public infrastructure and Brazil's focus on participatory governance, offer alternative frameworks that prioritize equity and accessibility. These models challenge the EU's technocratic approach and highlight the need for global cooperation.
The EU's regulatory approach to AI, particularly its focus on OpenAI, reflects a systemic tension between innovation and accountability.
While the proposed measures aim to address corporate power and public safety, they often neglect the historical and cultural dimensions of AI governance. By integrating Indigenous knowledge, cross-cultural models, and participatory frameworks, the EU can move toward a more inclusive and equitable AI policy. This requires not only legal reform but also a shift in power dynamics that center marginalized voices and foster global cooperation. The future of AI governance depends on balancing technological progress with ethical responsibility and democratic oversight.
