Personal Data and AI in East Asian Countries
A Comparative View Through the IDEA Framework
Episode Five of Digital Rules, Human Values examines how personal data markets and AI development are evolving across leading East Asian economies.
The IDEA framework is designed as a universal framework. Yet countries differ in digital infrastructure, regulatory capacity, institutional design, and levels of technological development. This session offers a comparative view of how governance approaches in East Asia are shaping data and AI ecosystems – and how the IDEA framework can support more human-centred digital economies across diverse systems.
Speakers
• Paul Twomey, Co-Chair, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment; former CEO of ICANN
• Charles Mok, Research Scholar, Stanford University; former Hong Kong Legislative Council Member (ICT)
