We are sharing this policy brief at a critical moment for the development of AI sandboxes. Global experience—from Europe, Latin America, the U.S., and beyond—underscores the need for a new mindset: one that embraces regulatory experimentation as a strategic priority. When thoughtfully designed, sandboxes can accelerate innovation and regulatory learning. Yet their impact depends on strong governance and a clear sense of purpose. Inaction—particularly in low- and middle-income countries—risks widening global disparities and missing the opportunity to build inclusive, adaptive governance frameworks. This brief also reflects the deepening collaboration between the TUM Think Tank and the Global Network of Centers. I am especially grateful to for working together with Urs Gasser, Markus B. Siewert, Rahel Roloff and Andras Molnar on this brief.

As AI increasingly shapes decision-making in our daily lives, traditional governance frameworks struggle to keep pace. How can we ensure regulation keeps up with technological change? In our latest policy brief “AI Sandboxes: Global Insights for Regulatory Learning and Adaptive Governance”, we explore diverse global practices and propose practical recommendations on how AI sandboxes—controlled, real-world environments for testing AI technologies, policies, and governance models—can support adaptive, inclusive, and anticipatory governance. Key takeaways include: 🔹 Four sandbox types (Operational, Regulatory, Hybrid, Policy), each suited for different governance contexts 🔹 Practical case studies from Rwanda, Brazil, Singapore, and the EU 🔹 Strategic recommendations for effective design, transparency, and international collaboration 🔹 Insights into how sandboxes balance innovation with accountability, reducing risk before formal implementation 👇 Read and download the full policy brief below and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! Authored by Armando Guio Español, Markus B. Siewert, Andras Molnar and Urs Gasser, this brief is a collaborative effort between the TUM Think Tank and the Global Network of Centers (NoC). Its insights draw on recent discussions with regulators, scholars, and practitioners from Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia at the workshop “AI Sandboxes: Regulatory Learning in Action” held at the UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Bangkok (June 24, 2025). 👉 For a summary, see the report from the NoC here: https://lnkd.in/dvpbk3-q #AISandbox #AdaptiveGovernance #AIRegulation #RegulatoryInnovation #FutureOfGovernance #InnovationEcosystems #InnovationGovernance Hochschule für Politik München / TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology / Technische Universität München / Technical University of Munich (TUM) Asia / TransforM Cluster - Munich Center for Transformative Technologies and Societal Change

Exciting news for the #TikTokDev community! TikTok has open-sourced its custom typeface TikTok Sans, making our bold, brand-new font available to everyone. Designed by TikTok in collaboration with Grilli Type, TikTok Sans was created to reflect our diverse global community – emphasizing inclusivity, creativity and distinctiveness. Its letters feature larger openings and simpler shapes, so characters are easy to distinguish and highly legible across interfaces. TikTok Sans also comes with built‑in accessibility and anti‑spoofing features to protect user clarity (e.g. alternate glyphs and equal-width digits). Best of all, it supports a truly global palette: over 460 languages across Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts are already covered, with more on the way. And it’s 1000% free! TikTok Sans is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Check it out on Google Fonts or fork it on GitHub – we can’t wait to see how the community uses it. Dive in now and bring inclusive, creative typography to your apps, designs and TikTok projects! @TikTokDev #OpenSource #Typography #DesignForAll #TikTokDevelopers https://lnkd.in/gpMSUkyk
