China Has Stronger AI Regulations Than Europe And US: Expert Stuart Russell Speaks At HTLS 2026

China has stricter AI regulations than the US and Europe, says UC Berkeley Professor Stuart Russell at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2026. Calling for international standards rather than national rules alone, Russell highlights a statement by countries led by Norway and Finland supporting mandatory testing before AI systems are released. He argues that systems that fail these tests should not be allowed to launch, emphasising the need for shared safeguards and global cooperation on AI safety.
