Data Minefield: How AI is Prodding Governments to Rethink Trade in Data

Susan Aaronson

Working Papers from The George Washington University, Institute for International Economic Policy

Abstract: No nation alone can regulate artificial intelligence (AI) because it is built on cross- border data flows. • Countries are just beginning to figure out how best to use and to protect various types of data that are used in AI, whether proprietary, personal, public or metadata. • Countries could alter comparative advantage in data through various approaches to regulating data — for example, requiring companies to pay for personal data. • Canada should carefully monitor and integrate its domestic regulatory and trade strategies related to data utilized in AI.
