AI Governance Dialogue Publishes 2025 White Paper Mapping Seven Core Themes for Global AI Policy

AI Governance Dialogue

The AI Governance Dialogue has released its second annual white paper, titled 'Steering the Future of AI,' examining seven themes central to the global AI governance landscape: autonomous agents, verification, socioeconomic impacts, multilateral coordination, standards, infrastructure, and risk management. The report gives particular attention to the role of AI Safety Institutes in conducting testing and red-teaming exercises, as well as to the development of multilateral protocols for AI safety. Published in January 2025, the paper draws on multi-stakeholder input to provide evidence-based insights intended to inform policymakers across jurisdictions. For enterprise compliance teams, the report serves as a structured reference for understanding where international consensus is forming and where regulatory gaps remain, particularly on autonomous agent governance and cross-border coordination mechanisms. Organizations monitoring alignment between internal AI risk frameworks and emerging international standards will find the thematic analysis relevant to gap assessments and board-level reporting.
