Regulating Big Tech: Is global coordination possible?

Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant leads the world’s first government regulatory agency committed to keeping its citizens safer online. While her appointment is domestic, the internet is global. In this episode of Conversations, the Lowy Institute’s Lydia Khalil talks with Inman Grant about what she learned from her previous experience working in the tech industry, how to regulate it, global efforts to coordinate online safety, particularly around AI, and the geopolitics of tech regulation.

In February 2024, the Lowy Institute published a Policy Brief by Lydia Khalil entitled "Overcoming digital threats to democracy", which is the basis for this podcast conversation. Read the full paper here.
