1. Synthesis· confidence high· passage checked

   Of the 29 governmental, intergovernmental and standards documents compared here, only two, Japan’s AI Guidelines for Business and Kenya’s AI strategy, define AI governance in a sentence. Most use the term without defining it, and some laws, including the Council of Europe Convention and Korea’s framework act, do not use it at all.

2. Interpretation· confidence medium· passage checked

   Read in order, the documents move from field-defining scholarship and principles (2017–2021), to organisational management systems and risk functions (2020–2023), to national strategies, laws and standing international bodies (2024–2026). The term spreads faster than any shared definition of it.

3. Interpretation· confidence high· passage checked

   Global South documents tie governance to development, inclusion and the room to make national choices: the African Union to inclusion and African agendas, the Montevideo declaration to regional context and each country’s policy space, ECLAC to the state’s capacity to steer AI towards development, and the UN resolution to closing digital divides.
