Title: From Global Policy Tools to Regulatory Implementation: AI Governance Across Scales

Elona Shatri is a researcher at the QMUL, she completed her PhD in AI and Music (Centre for Digital Music). Through a UNESCO fellowship, she has worked on AI governance initiatives including leading development of the G20 Technology Policy Design Tool, coordinating regional AI readiness assessments in Flanders, and synthesising findings from 46 country assessments. Her research bridges technical AI development and policy implementation, with current work examining transparency requirements under the EU AI Act. She has previously led policy research for the UK-Qatar Joint AI Research Commission and the CREAATIF project on AI in creative industries, presenting findings to parliamentary bodies.

Abstract This talk presents work conducted through a UNESCO fellowship addressing AI governance from international frameworks to specific regulatory challenges. The first part discusses development of the G20 Technology Policy Design Tool and findings from meta-analysis of 46 country readiness assessments. The second part examines a practical regulatory challenge under Article 50 of the EU AI Act: determining when AI-generated or AI-manipulated content triggers transparency requirements. Through case study development for supervisory authorities, the presentation explores how open concepts like 'substantially alter' and 'assistive standard editing' must be operationalised when human and AI contributions are intertwined, illustrating the gap between high-level policy frameworks and their enforcement.
