Part VI: Future and Conclusions

AI capabilities, regulation and markets are moving faster than most governance structures, and the closing chapters are written to help readers keep their bearings.

Chapter 22 surveys the phased application of the AI Act, the growing autonomy of agents, the economics and geopolitics of models, separating what is scheduled from what is plausible and from speculation. Chapter 23 draws a conclusion for Nordvik Region and Hansa Mutual: what each has decided, what remains, and where a public authority under one legal regime and a group facing seven jurisdictions diverge. Chapter 24 contains the author's reflections on each part, kept separate from the analysis. Chapter 25 closes with a consolidated analysis of what AI governance is for and what a codified, evidenced and proportionate governance function looks like.

What you will learn in this part:

• Which developments are scheduled, which are plausible, and how to plan for both
• Why the right governance answer depends on mandate, legal setting and usage mode
• How the book's disciplines fit together into a single governance capability

The appendices that follow provide the glossary, the obligation mapping, the maturity model, the templates and the bibliography.
