Jurisdictions
Countries, the EU and California. Multilateral instruments stay on their own policy pages; they are not treated as jurisdictions.
EU
The EU regulates AI through directly applicable legislation, coordinated enforcement and sector-specific law.
United States
United States AI policy combines federal executive action, agency standards, congressional proposals and state law.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom relies on existing regulators, central coordination and targeted legislation rather than one general AI act.
China
China governs AI through national laws, administrative measures, technical standards and service-specific rules.
California
California regulates frontier AI developers through state statute alongside federal and local rules.
Canada
Canada governs AI through privacy law, sectoral rules and voluntary codes rather than a single federal AI statute currently in force.
Japan
Japan coordinates AI policy through soft-law guidelines, promotion legislation and ministry-led standards work.
South Korea
South Korea combines industrial promotion with statutory duties for high-impact and generative AI under the AI Basic Act.
Singapore
Singapore relies on voluntary model frameworks, testing toolkits and sector guidance for AI governance.
Australia
Australia develops AI policy through federal consultation, voluntary standards and existing consumer and privacy law.
India
India addresses AI through MeitY advisories, digital public infrastructure policy and sectoral regulation.
Brazil
Brazil debates comprehensive AI legislation while applying existing consumer, data-protection and sectoral rules.
