GILAS - Global Initiative on Law and Autonomous Systems

Reimagining care through trust, data, and digital access - for everyone.

Building the legal and governance architecture for autonomous technologies


GILAS is an international initiative focused on how law, governance and accountability must evolve as artificial intelligence systems become increasingly capable of acting autonomously.

As AI moves from generating information to initiating actions, interacting with systems, making decisions and operating across jurisdictions, new questions emerge around authority, identity, evidence, liability and institutional responsibility.

GILAS brings together expertise across law, governance, technology, policy and standards to examine these challenges and help shape practical approaches for the autonomous-systems era.

Core Areas of Focus

  • AI governance and accountability
  • Agentic AI and autonomous systems
  • Digital identity and machine identity
  • Data governance and privacy
  • Technology assurance and auditability
  • AI procurement and contracting
  • Cross-border governance
  • Emerging legal risk and liability

The Governance Chain

Identity → Authority → Action → Evidence → Accountability

GILAS aims to help advance the legal and governance structures needed to support innovation while preserving accountability, trust, human oversight and institutional responsibility.

The question is no longer only how AI should be regulated. It is how law governs systems that can increasingly act.
