Open Loop in 75 seconds
What is Open Loop?
Open Loop is a global program that connects policymakers and technology companies to help develop effective and evidence-based policies around AI and other emerging technologies. The program, initiated and supported by Meta, builds on the collaboration and contributions of a consortium composed of regulators, governments, tech businesses, academics and civil society representatives. Through experimental governance methods, Open Loop members co-create policy prototypes and test new and different approaches to laws and regulations before they are enacted, improving the quality of rulemaking processes in the field of tech policy.

Emerging tech is everywhere – why AI?
Policy making is highly relevant for all emerging technologies. We are starting with AI because we believe that there is a specific need for policy experimentation in this field.
This belief is built on two main observations
