AI regulations and frameworks

There’s no shortage of AI regulations and frameworks, but we’re going to focus on five of the most well-known today. 

As a business professional, prioritize your focus on your home country and the regions where you conduct business.

European Union's AI Act

The EU AI Act regulates AI systems based on risk levels and aims to ensure trustworthy AI development.

U.S. Algorithmic Accountability Act

This proposed law requires companies to assess the risks of their AI systems, focusing on bias, privacy, and security concerns.

China’s guidelines promote ethical AI use, emphasizing fairness, transparency, and harm prevention, especially in public services.


Canada’s directive ensures that AI systems used in federal services are transparent, accountable, and minimize bias in decision-making.

Singapore's framework guides businesses in deploying AI responsibly, focusing on transparency, fairness, and accountability.

Our thoughts

The future of AI regulations will bring stricter oversight, with governments adopting frameworks that balance innovation with ethical concerns. In theory, this will ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability as AI becomes more integrated into every aspect of business and society.
