USCIB provides thought leadership across a range of digital policy issues while pushing back against harmful regulatory efforts that can stifle or curb American innovation and competitiveness. Emerging digital issues are cross-cutting, impacting all industries and sectors. USCIB works with members to ensure the global governance structures and standards developed now will reflect key business priorities in the future.

Key issues include:

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Cross Border Data Flows
  • Cybersecurity
  • Internet Governance and UN Engagement
  • Privacy and Data Governance
  • Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)

What’s at Stake for US Business

  • AI is rapidly transforming every sector of the economy, emphasizing the need for US business to remain focused on global governance. US business must call on governments and multilateral institutions to create an enabling environment for AI adoption globally.
  • Growing digital sovereignty efforts create more restrictive requirements for the flow of data across borders and digital infrastructure development, causing US businesses to face increasing barriers to growth in the global digital economy. Facilitating cross-border data flows, prohibiting data localization, respecting human rights, fostering investment, developing uniform and consistent standards, and creating an open, safe, and secure digital economy incentivizes responsible innovation and bolsters economic opportunities.
  • To develop policies that facilitate investment and innovation in the digital economy, US business must maintain a voice in new spaces, such as at the UN’s Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.

USCIB Actions

    Provide member-driven recommendations to shape global digital policies and frameworks to create an innovation-friendly environment to develop and deploy new technologies that spur economic growth.
  • Push forward a US business agenda at the upcoming World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF), and the upcoming Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-26).
    Coordinate programming and speak on a wide range of technology issues at high level engagements such as, at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) High Level Week, AI For Good, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the UN Global Dialogue on AI, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Digital Week, and the Global Partnership on AI.
  • Promote the discussion of public policy issues relating to internet governance by working with the Internet Governance Forum’s (IGF) Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) to create panels, workshops, and high level tracks that reflect digital priorities that are pertinent to our members’ business.
  • Support work to advance interoperable cyber frameworks across jurisdictions to avoid fragmentation and to ensure privacy, security, and trust in data governance through the Digital Policy Committee at the OECD.
