AI and Public Policy: Governing the Future Intelligently

In AI and Public Policy: Governing the Future Intelligently, Anand Vemula presents a forward-looking, globally relevant blueprint for navigating the intersection of artificial intelligence and public governance. The book offers a deep, structured, and uniquely current perspective on how democratic institutions, global alliances, and local communities must co-create the rules that govern intelligent systems.

The work spans critical domains—from AI’s role in reshaping labor markets and economic inequality, to its influence on geopolitical dynamics, public health, sustainability, and democratic resilience. Vemula goes beyond conventional regulation and ethics discourse to emphasize underexplored dimensions such as public participation, AI literacy, and eco-centric governance.

The book advocates treating AI not merely as a tool, but as infrastructure—integral to national sovereignty and public good. It also explores new regulatory frontiers like algorithmic impact assessments, AI-specific procurement standards, and anticipatory governance frameworks. Vemula highlights often overlooked but vital policy zones such as open-source AI, civic assemblies for AI policy, and the integration of AI in treaties and trade.

What sets this work apart is its commitment to justice, transparency, and participatory design in shaping AI's future. The chapters are rich with global case studies, emerging policy mechanisms, and actionable proposals. With clarity and urgency, the book speaks to policymakers, technologists, academics, and citizens alike.

Ultimately, this book is not just about regulating AI—it’s about imagining and building a society where intelligent systems enhance human dignity, democracy, and planetary well-being.
