Mapping the Global AI Policy Landscape

Regulation, Incentives, and Innovation Funding

Drawing on comparative regulatory inventories across Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and the United States, this paper maps global AI and quantum policy approaches as Sticks, Carrots, and Challenges. Nine vignettes show that durable innovation ecosystems never rely on a single instrument, and that instrument selection is a design problem, not an ideological choice.
