Institutional models for AI sandbox governance BOX
A review of AI sandboxes established globally highlights the diverse objectives they serve. These objectives are often shaped by the mandate and priorities of the organization leading the
sandbox. Building a comprehensive AI ecosystem requires the coordinated efforts of multiple sandboxes, each led by a different type of institution – government bodies, industry regulators,
industry bodies, academia or private organizations – addressing distinct aspects of the broader challenge. The table below outlines the main categories of sandbox-leading organizations
and their typical objectives.
