Agile Governance Practices in Artificial Intelligence:Categorizing Regulatory Approaches and Constructing a Policy Toolbox
The diverse and complex risks associated with artificial intelligence applications present regulatory challenges,emphasizing the need for agility in current AI governance.However,there is still a lack of systematic theoretical analysis and practical guidance on achieving agile regulation in terms of specific paths,mechanisms,and tools.Regulatory agencies,often constrained by bureaucratic approaches,face difficulties in responding to uncertainties.As a result,practical reforms often consider"classification"as a potential approach to adapt to complexity and enhance agility.Through a comparative analysis of AI development across diverse domains,along with a comprehensive review of international experiences,this paper establishes the dimensions for classifying AI governance risks and corresponding policy toolboxes.The study aims to provide regulatory practitioners a concise classification framework and a guide for combining policy tools.This enables regulatory practices to identify and categorize governance targets based on industry characteristics and locate suitable policy combinations within the corresponding toolbox.
