AI rules are no longer abstract. The UN has created new bodies, the EU AI Act is entering force, the Council of Europe has a binding treaty, the G7 has a public reporting framework, and regions such as Africa, India, China and the United States are moving fast with their own approaches.AI Governance on the Global Stage gives leaders a clear, practical view of this new reality. It shows how global frameworks connect, what they demand from organisations, and how to turn them into day-to-day decisions about projects, vendors, skills and risk.You will learn how to: Read the main global players and treaties without getting lost in acronyms.Understand the real impact of the EU AI Act, the Council of Europe AI Convention and UN bodies on your work.Spot high-risk use cases in hiring, finance, public services and operations before regulators do.Build internal governance: inventories, documentation, oversight and incident handling.Plan skills and education so workers, managers and boards can use AI responsibly.This book is for business leaders, AI and data leaders, governance and risk teams, HR and legal professionals, and policy-minded practitioners who work across borders and need a grounded view of AI governance.It draws on current global developments, from the Global Digital Compact and UN scientific panel to the G7 Hiroshima process, Africa's continental strategy, India's "Safe and Trusted AI" projects, China's action plan, US standards and technical bodies such as ISO, IEEE and NIST.Read it if you want to move from reacting to headlines to building a steady, informed approach to AI that respects people, meets emerging rules and still supports growth.
