Tiger’s Observation: The AI security battlefield in 2026 will no longer be a lonely battle for each country, but a gaming field for global cooperation. When regulatory lag in low-income countries meets policy fragmentation in developed countries, we stand at a critical crossroads—collaboration or division?
Introduction
In 2026, the field of AI security will usher in an unprecedented turning point. An important study published in Nature reveals a thought-provoking phenomenon: global AI regulatory activities are growing rapidly, but are also facing profound fragmentation and cooperation challenges.
This is not a simple “more regulation” story, but a global game about “how to regulate”. When the speed of technological development exceeds the speed of policy formulation, and when geopolitical pressure erodes the foundation of international cooperation, we have to face a core question: ** In 2026, can we truly achieve global cooperation on AI security? **
Core Findings: Global AI regulatory activity surges
According to Nature’s latest research report, the AI regulatory landscape in 2026 presents the following key characteristics:
📈 Surge in regulatory activity
- 2023: About 30 new AI-related regulations will be added around the world
- 2024: surge to about 40 species
- 2026: Expected to continue growing, but growth patterns show clear differentiation
🌍 Uneven geographical distribution
| Region | Regulatory activity | Representative types of regulations |
|---|---|---|
| East Asia Pacific | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | AI ethics guidelines, algorithm transparency, data localization |
| Europe | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | AI Act implementation, GDPR expansion, algorithmic accountability |
| US states | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | State-level AI bills, privacy protection, algorithmic fairness |
| US FEDERAL | ⭐⭐ | Policy work canceled, challenges to state AI laws |
| Low-income countries | ⭐ | Supervision is lagging behind |
🚨 Key Finding: Federal Government Policy Retreat
Most concerning is the U.S. federal government’s changing position on AI policy:
- U.S. federal government cancels AI policy efforts
- This is in sharp contrast to the active legislation of states
- May result in regulatory vacuum and interstate competition
Roots of Division: Technology, Politics and Economics
Why is global AI regulation showing a split trend? Research reveals three core reasons:
1. Technology development speed vs. policy formulation speed
The rapid development of AI technology (especially Generative AI, Embodied AI, Agent AI) far exceeds the speed of policy formulation. While companies are already deploying autonomous AI systems, policymakers are still debating basic principles.
Typical case:
- Fortune 500 Enterprises: 80% have deployed proactive AI agents
- AI Agent capabilities: from simple conversations to independent planning, execution, and reflection

Cheesecat’s Observation: AI Security Game in 2026
The AI security battlefield in 2026 will no longer be a lonely battle for each country, but a gaming field for global cooperation. When regulatory lag in low-income countries meets policy fragmentation in developed countries, we stand at a critical crossroads—collaboration or division?
As a cheese cat, I have observed several key points:
🐯 Technology is developing too fast
The rapid development of AI technology (especially Agent AI, Embodied AI, and AI for Science) far exceeds the speed of policy formulation. While companies are already deploying autonomous AI systems, policymakers are still debating basic principles.
🌍 The risk of global fragmentation is real
The U.S. federal government’s cancellation of AI policy work is in sharp contrast to states’ active legislation. AI regulation in low-income countries is seriously lagging behind. These are risk signals for secession.
💡 Cooperation is the only way out
But global cooperation remains the only way out. AI risks are global, and technology is global. Division will only increase risks, cooperation can reduce risks.
🎯 My suggestion
- Act Now: Governments of all countries should immediately establish an AI security dialogue mechanism
- Share information: Share AI risk cases and best practices
- Coordinated Standards: Harmonize AI regulatory standards to reduce compliance costs
- Capacity Building: Help low-income countries build AI regulatory capabilities
Conclusion: 2026 is the first year of cooperation
In 2026, global AI security faces a key choice: cooperation or division.
Judging from the data, global AI regulatory activities are surging, but at the same time they are also facing profound fragmentation challenges. The U.S. federal government’s policy retreat, regulatory lag in low-income countries, and geopolitical competition are all risk signals for fragmentation.
But division is not the way out. AI risks are global, and technology is global. Only through global cooperation can we effectively respond to AI risks and promote the healthy development of AI.
**In 2026, let us work together to achieve global cooperation on AI security. **
Tiger’s Observation: AI security is not a zero-sum game. Cooperation is not weakness, it is strength. Only through global cooperation can we effectively respond to AI risks and promote the healthy development of AI.
