Why it matters

Few people, including many policymakers, have a clear picture of which AI rules already exist. A one-page map is a useful starting point for policy work.

Output: A one-page map: laws, strategies, regulators and gaps.

Steps

0 of 5 done
  1. Start with the OECD database

    20 min

    Use the OECD.AI Policy Observatory to list your country’s national AI strategy and policy initiatives.

  2. Find the binding rules

    30 min

    Separate actual law (for the UK, search legislation.gov.uk) from strategies and voluntary guidance. Note which existing laws (data protection, equality, consumer) already cover AI.

  3. Find the regulators

    20 min

    Who enforces what? List the bodies involved, including any AI safety or security institute.

  4. Spot the gaps

    20 min

    What kinds of AI harm are not clearly covered by anyone? Pick the gap you think matters most.

  5. Fit it on one page

    30 min

    Make a simple diagram or table. Add the date, since rules change quickly, and share it.
