Who is regulating AI?
Some countries are writing the rules. Others are still figuring out the game. The race to regulate AI is on — but not every country has joined. Explore an interactive look at who's leading, who's catching up, and who hasn't started yet.
Click any country to explore its status. Data reflects publicly available information as of 2025 and will be updated as the global policy landscape evolves.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping economies, governments, and daily life at a pace that policy has struggled to match. Some countries have responded with landmark legislation, the European Union's AI Act, the first comprehensive legal framework of its kind, set a global benchmark in 2024. Others have published national strategies, established dedicated agencies, or issued executive guidance to steer how AI is developed and deployed within their borders. Many more are still watching, waiting, or working quietly on frameworks that haven't yet reached the public domain.
This map is an attempt to make that landscape visible. It tracks the current status of national AI policy across the world — distinguishing between countries with active, enforceable regulation or formal strategy, those with legislation or frameworks actively in development, and those where no significant public policy effort has been identified yet.
