A practical book on "how" to regulate AI
Everyone agrees AI needs rules. Far fewer agree on how to make them well. Better Regulations, Better AI Results is a plain-language, practical guide to designing, implementing, and continuously improving AI regulation.
Drawing on more than a decade advising governments around the world on regulatory reform, Alfredo González Briseño shows that good AI rules depend on the process and institutions behind them, not only on what the law says. The book takes no ideological side and proposes no model law. It gives leaders a neutral framework, and the BRAIn Canvas, to make better decisions about AI in their own country or organization.

Part 4, It Goes Beyond AI Regulation: regulatory humility and the leadership mindset behind better results
This is a book for government regulators and policymakers, legislative staff, international development and multilateral organizations, AI industry leaders, business associations, and students preparing to shape AI governance.
—No technical or legal background needed—
This book helps leaders move from reactive policy to resilient governance, with simple and practical frameworks that turn complexity of AI regulation into clarity.
If you are responsible for decisions that shape technology, risk or public trust, this book belongs on your desk.
Better AI Regulations Create Better AI Outcomes Tomorrow
It is possible to approach AI regulation smarter, not harder.
"The guidance throughout is smart, brisk, and stripped of extraneous detail or ideological point proving, even when González Briseño considers specific questions that 21st century tech poses for policy-makers.”
