Rhodium Group urges global AI safety framework amid research calls

Reva Goujon, director of the Rhodium Group, argues that a coordinated, comprehensive safety framework is needed for artificial‑intelligence systems worldwide. She says fragmented regulation creates bureaucratic burdens, hampers competitiveness and raises risks for investors, while a unified approach could protect consumers and foster innovation.

A related discussion is presented in a CREATe blog series that captures insights from early‑career researchers who attended the AI Regulation ECR Conference in March 2026. The contributors – including Qingqin Zhang, Weiwei Yi, Aline Iramina and Gabriele Cifrodelli – examine four policy areas: workers’ privacy and data protection, consumer protection, platform regulation and intellectual‑property issues. They highlight challenges such as opaque algorithmic decision‑making, bias, lack of redress mechanisms and the need for transparent oversight.

Both pieces underscore growing consensus that coordinated regulation across jurisdictions is essential to manage AI’s societal impact while preserving its economic benefits.
