Policy instruments by jurisdiction · Method 1.0.0

Who is regulating AI, and how?

AI Regulation Tracker groups our Policy and Security coverage by jurisdiction and instrument: legislation, executive orders, guidance, enforcement and court action. Each row links to the story and its recorded source.

Classified by keyword, not by lawyers. Jurisdiction, instrument and status come from fixed keyword rules applied to our headlines. They describe how the story was worded at publication, not the current legal status of any measure.

Only articles returned by getAllNewsArticles, including its publication, suppression and media filters. Security-category stories about attacks or research without an instrument keyword are excluded. This is not a census of AI regulation.
