The Statute
The laws the credentials answer to.
Nobody gets certified in the EU AI Act. These are the obligations that create the demand: the regulations, frameworks, and principles governing AI across the major jurisdictions. This is a neutral reference, not a verdict. We record what each instrument is, whether it binds you, and where it stands, so you can see the ground the credentials are built on. Binding law and soft frameworks share this page on purpose: a regulation like the EU AI Act enforces, while a framework like UNESCO's Recommendation or the OECD Principles sets out the values other instruments assume, and neither replaces the other. The legend below marks which is which, so the difference is never a guessing game. Tap any entry for the full read.
Binding, or not. A filled square is hard law: in force and enforceable, with penalties. A half square is binding but phasing in, or binding only in part. An open square is soft law: a framework, principle set, or guidance that shapes expectations without a penalty behind it.
This page moves fast. AI regulation changes month to month, especially across US states, China, and Korea. Every entry here should be checked against the primary source before you rely on it for a decision. Where the status is volatile or pending, we say so rather than pretend certainty.
Status is dated and versioned. Last reviewed 9 September 2026. This is a reference, not legal advice.
Where do you actually stand?
Sixteen questions, six minutes. You rate yourself on each competence area, from "not yet" to "I could evidence this to an assessor". We hand back a profile, your strongest ground, and the gaps worth closing first. Nothing is stored unless you ask us to send it.
