Leading Intelligence on Global AI Governance
The Institute for Strategic AI Research Global is an independent research organisation dedicated to advancing understanding of AI governance through empirical intelligence and evidence-based analysis.
Our Mission
ISAR Global bridges the critical gap between regulatory theory and enforcement reality. While much AI governance discussion focuses on what regulators might do, we systematically track and analyze what they actually do. This enforcement intelligence approach provides policy makers, compliance professionals, and strategic decision-makers with the practical insights needed for effective governance.
Research Network Model
ISAR Global operates through a distributed research network of policy practitioners, regulatory experts, and academic researchers specializing in AI governance intelligence. Our contributors include:
- Former regulatory officials with direct enforcement experience
- Policy practitioners from major democratic governments
- Academic researchers from leading international universities
- Industry compliance experts with multinational regulatory experience
- International organization specialists from global governance institutions
This network model enables ISAR Global to combine theoretical rigor with practical enforcement insight across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks.
Research Methodology
Our approach emphasizes systematic empirical analysis over speculative prediction:
Enforcement Tracking: Real-time monitoring of actual regulatory actions, enforcement decisions, and compliance outcomes across major AI governance jurisdictions.
Comparative Analysis: Cross-jurisdictional studies identifying enforcement patterns, regulatory effectiveness, and policy implementation gaps.
Stakeholder Intelligence: Multi-perspective analysis incorporating government, industry, and civil society viewpoints on governance effectiveness.
Forward Intelligence: Evidence-based assessment of emerging governance challenges and regulatory development trends.
Research Standards
ISAR Global maintains rigorous analytical standards designed to serve senior policy makers and strategic decision-makers:
- Empirical Foundation: All analysis grounded in verifiable regulatory actions and documented enforcement outcomes
- Multi-Source Verification: Intelligence validated through multiple independent sources and perspectives
- Systematic Methodology: Consistent analytical frameworks enabling reliable trend identification and comparative assessment
- Policy Relevance: Research designed to address practical governance challenges facing decision-makers
Institutional Independence
As an independent research organization, ISAR Global maintains editorial and analytical independence from government, corporate, and institutional interests. This independence enables objective assessment of regulatory effectiveness and evidence-based policy recommendations.
Our funding model through research subscriptions and advisory services ensures alignment with evidence-based analysis rather than advocacy outcomes.
Global Scope
ISAR Global’s research spans major AI governance jurisdictions including the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, and emerging regulatory frameworks in Asia-Pacific and other regions. This global perspective enables comparative analysis essential for understanding regulatory effectiveness and international coordination challenges.
