A rolling, source-linked record of national AI, data-protection and platform-regulation measures across 71 jurisdictions.
The AI & Digital Governance Policy Tracker is a structured, source-linked record of national and regional measures governing artificial intelligence, data protection and platform regulation, coded as they are adopted rather than reconstructed retrospectively. Each measure is classified by instrument type — binding law, regulation or voluntary code — and by scope, and every classification is reviewed by a second analyst before publication to limit coding error. The tracker supports comparative policy analysis for governments monitoring peer approaches, for businesses assessing compliance exposure across markets, and for researchers studying the diffusion of digital-governance models. It records what has been adopted, when and by whom, without offering a normative assessment of any single measure.
