Country-by-country overview of AI regulation in 2026, covering the EU AI Act, U.S. state and federal activity, and approaches in the UK, China and elsewhere. Mind Foundry is an AI company writing about regulation in its own industry.
Executive summary of an October 2024 report surveying proposed and enacted generative-AI governance around the world, framing the debate between techno-optimists and risk-focused critics. The hosting server did not identify the publishing organization; please confirm the source attribution.
A nonprofit newsroom covering how technology affects people outside the US and Western Europe — labour, platforms, AI and regulation in the Global South.
Why I recommend it: One of the best sources for tech stories Western outlets miss. Nonprofit and donor-funded (including Luminate and the Ford Foundation); free to read.
Gallup and Microsoft survey of the first 37 countries (of a planned 140): positive feelings about AI outweigh negative ones in 34, but a median 57% of adults have never used AI, and use ranges from 79% in Singapore to 3% in Malawi.
Why I recommend it: Free to read. Useful data on how people around the world feel about AI. Note the study is run with Microsoft, a company that sells AI, and covers only 37 countries so far.
Gates Foundation press release announcing a five-year partnership of 60 signatories — frontier AI labs, researchers, companies, governments, community organizations, and philanthropic groups — to expand AI access across languages and voices.
Why I recommend it: A commitment announcement, not an outcome report. Read it for who has signed on and what they say they will do; the hard part is whether the resulting models and data actually serve the communities named.
Worldwide network of entrepreneurship programs, research, and policy work, best known for organizing Global Entrepreneurship Week across more than 180 countries.
Why I recommend it: Use their country pages to find the local ecosystem group nearest you. Entrepreneurship is a local sport played on a global field.
Nonprofit pairing after-school service programs for U.S. students in under-resourced communities with school construction projects in countries including Haiti, Malawi, Nepal, and Senegal.
Why I recommend it: Service work builds the exact skills interviewers probe for: follow-through, teamwork, and doing hard things without applause.
