Context
AI governance is inherently global. New Zealand can't regulate AI in isolation, but we can be a constructive voice in international frameworks and learn from other countries' approaches.
Key areas to explore
- International frameworks — NZ's engagement with OECD AI Principles, UN processes, etc.
- Bilateral partnerships — AI cooperation with Australia, Pacific Islands, and key trading partners
- Regulatory alignment — How NZ regulation relates to EU AI Act, US approaches, etc.
- Pacific leadership — NZ's role in supporting Pacific nations through AI transitions
- Trade and AI — AI provisions in trade agreements and digital economy partnerships
Questions for contributors
- Which international AI governance frameworks should NZ align with?
- How can NZ influence global AI governance given our small size?
- What obligations do we have to Pacific nations in the AI transition?
