She will highlight some of the specific challenges faced by small AI software companies with regards to regulatory measures that are more trade restrictive than necessary to achieve legitimate objectives, which are also known as technical barriers to trade. In addition, she will address how regulators can create a more inclusive environment that facilitates a level playing field, and can enable small AI software companies to thrive in global trade and contribute to innovation.
