- [Publications](https://www.weforum.org/publications/) [Download PDF](https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Governance_in_the_Age_of_Generative_AI_2024.pdf) In a time of rapid innovation and global uncertainty, generative artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative force, reshaping industries, economies, and societies worldwide. This pivotal moment demands visionary leadership and a collaborative approach to anticipatory governance. In partnership with Accenture, the AI Governance Alliance’s Resilient Governance and Regulation working group, composed of leading stakeholders from industry, government, civil society, and academia, seeks to advance public-private and international cooperation to facilitate an anticipatory, inclusive and interoperable global AI governance environment. This white paper equips policy-makers and regulators with implementable strategies for resilient generative AI governance contained within a 360-degree governance framework. The pillars of the comprehensive framework address regulatory gaps, stakeholder-specific governance challenges and the evolving demands of this rapidly advancing technology.
