In this interview for the Global Governance Innovation Platform (GGI), recorded during the Institution-building in an Era of Values Realism workshop (30 March, 2026), Hongyu Fu examines gaps in global AI governance, highlighting the lack of international consensus on risk priorities, capacity building and private-sector participation.
He discusses the importance of multi-stakeholder approaches that bring private actors and technical expertise into international governance processes, highlighting emerging platforms for AI governance as opportunities for institutional experimentation and consensus-building. He also reflects on the need to regularly reassess AI risks and develop people-centred governance approaches that consider AI's impact on everyday life.
