Regulatory Entrepreneurship Reincarnated
Start-ups such as Airbnb and Uber used regulatory entrepreneurship to achieve widespread success in the 2010s by scaling rapidly, operating outside existing laws and using their large user bases to influence regulators and legal frameworks. This talk examines how prediction markets, AI chatbot companies and social media platforms are adapting the model, how this new approach differs from its predecessor and how regulators might respond to these emerging challenges.
