Covering central themes such as regulatory flows, self-regulation and AI ethics, contextual regulation, and regulatory devices, the Companion brings together an array of eminent academics from across the globe. Chapters critically reflect on the nature and role of regulation, charting the tapestry of regulatory influence and capacity, values, and relationships of dependence and vulnerability attendant on advancing AI and mass data sharing. The regulatory challenges facing emerging economies and post-colonial societies are examined, and contributors engage new frames of thinking and solutions from perspectives beyond the interests of techno-colonialism.

International and interdisciplinary in scope, this Companion will be an interesting read for academics and students in development studies, law and development, innovation and technology studies, and regulation and governance.
