Computational Regulation: From Policy Sludge to Smarter Rules
Advances in AI and computational regulation are creating new possibilities for how rules are analysed, compared and developed. Moderated by Gillian Tett (Provost of King's College, Cambridge and Financial Times columnist), and in collaboration with RegGenome, this forum will explore how machine-readable regulation and AI tools can support more effective rule-making, reduce regulatory complexity, and strengthen cross-border regulatory cooperation, while preserving trust and accountability. The session will see a presentation from Michael Hsu, former Acting Comptroller of the Currency, followed by a panel discussion including speakers from the National Bank of Georgia and the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

Michael Hsu, Fellow, Cambridge Judge Business School and the Aspen Institute
