This roadmap, developed through collaborative discussions at the recent AI PolicyResearch Summit, reflects a shared vision for advancing research on responsibleAI policy and governance. It emphasizes the critical role of policy research inensuring that AI development is guided by robust evidence, ethicalconsiderations, and a commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. By prioritizingtransparency, accountability, and the well-being of humans and the planet, thisroadmap highlights how research can inform global approaches to AI governance,addressing complex societal needs and ethical challenges. It serves as a guidingframework for stakeholders across academia, industry, government, and civilsociety to collaborate in generating actionable insights and evidence-basedstrategies, noting that while evidence-based AI policy often draws on data-drivenresearch, it equally values critical theoretical insights and fundamental rightsapproaches, ensuring a holistic understanding that extends beyond the purelyquantifiable
