The AI Governance Void: Why Standards Are Filling the Regulatory Gap

"In a world accelerating through an 'AI gold rush' where less than 20% of organizations have clear AI governance in place, we face a critical question: who will set the rules for responsible AI development?

While global governments grapple with wildly different regulatory philosophies (from the US's reluctance to China's robust legislation) a surprising, ready-made solution exists.

This episode unpacks how international standards bodies like the British Standards Institution (BSI) are stepping into this vacuum, bringing together diverse experts, academics, and civil society to define what ethical and safe AI actually looks like.

We explore how consensus-based standards, such as the new ISO 42001 management system for AI, are becoming the practical blueprint for organizations to responsibly harness AI, bridging the critical gap where legislation lags. Susan Taylor Martin reveals why these global, flexible standards are not just about compliance, but about building trust and preventing the unseen mistakes of past tech booms."
