Cameron Kerry, Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Acting US Secretary of Commerce, joins Kevin Werbach to explore the evolving landscape of AI governance, privacy, and global coordination. Kerry emphasizes the need for agile and networked approaches to AI regulation that reflect the technology’s decentralized nature. He argues that effective oversight must be flexible enough to adapt to rapid innovation while grounded in clear baselines that can help organizations and governments learn together. Kerry revisits his long-standing push for comprehensive U.S. privacy legislation, lamenting the near-passage of the 2022 federal privacy bill that was derailed by partisan roadblocks. Despite setbacks, he remains hopeful that bottom-up experimentation and shared best practices can guide responsible AI use, even without sweeping laws.

Cameron F. Kerry is the Ann R. and Andrew H. Tisch Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and a global thought leader on privacy, technology, and AI governance. He served as General Counsel and Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, where he led work on privacy frameworks and digital policy. A senior advisor to the Aspen Institute and board member of several policy initiatives, Kerry focuses on building transatlantic and global approaches to digital governance that balance innovation with accountability.
