Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are inherently global, transcending national borders and requiring international cooperation on AI legislation. Acknowledging this, the European Union (EU) has adopted a proactive approach to developing a comprehensive AI policy framework that aims to foster innovation while promoting sustainable growth within its markets. This publication seeks to provide an in-depth overview of the wide-ranging implications of AI regulation within the European context, focusing on legal definitions and foundations, European regulation alongside national perspectives, and global case studies with their broader implications. These insights lay a foundation for developing evidence-based policy approaches that reflect the diverse needs of EU member states while aligning with the strategic goals of liberal partners both within and beyond Europe, serving as a key resource for policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to navigate AI regulation in ways that foster innovation while upholding ethical standards and public safety.
