Free instruments

The law itself, free and open

6 instruments, no sign-up and no email wall. They serve the official texts and the rules as they stand, each claim carrying the source it came from and the date it was checked. Study aids, not legal advice: the official texts are always authoritative.

EU AI Act Explorer

The whole of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as one connected map, consolidated with the Digital Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744) applied.

  • Every article, recital, annex and definition has its own page, carrying the full official text.
  • Each page lists what the provision cites, what cites it, and the recitals and annexes behind it.
  • Amended provisions carry a marker and list what the Digital Omnibus changed.
  • 6 guided reading paths through the Regulation, by role and by question.

EU AI Act Scope Wizard

The question every team asks first, answered against the consolidated text: is this system in scope, and at which risk tier?

  • 10 questions across definition, Article 2 exclusions, territory, general-purpose models, Article 5 prohibitions, Annex I, Annex III, the Article 6(3) filter and Article 50 transparency.
  • Ten possible outcomes, each carrying the provisions it rests on quoted in full, the date it starts to bind, and the point where the answer stops being safe to rely on.
  • Follows the Digital Omnibus: the two new Article 5 prohibitions, the narrowed safety-component test, and the December 2027 and August 2028 high-risk dates.
  • It asks which section of Annex I applies, because Article 2(2) leaves only Article 6(1), Article 60a and Articles 102 to 112 applicable to a Section B product.
  • Nothing is stored: the answer path travels in the URL, which is also how a result is shared or reopened.

EU AI Act Compliance Checklist

Pick your role and get the obligations that attach to it, each linked to the article it comes from.

  • Provider, deployer, importer, distributor, GPAI provider and authority, each with its own list.
  • The post Omnibus timeline, stating which deadlines moved and which did not.
  • Each obligation is linked to the article it comes from.

EU Cross-Compliance Graph

4 EU acts on one map (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, EU AI Act), across 8 surfaces.

  • GDPR, NIS2 and DORA are each a full legal graph parsed from the Official Journal text.
  • Every provision of those three acts has its own page with its official text and cross-references.
  • The crossover surface holds every place one act cites another, with the passage quoted verbatim.
  • The method surface states how each dataset was built and what its inferred links do not claim.

Global AI Governance Arena

How the European Union, the United States and China each regulate AI, across 7 surfaces (overview, regimes, simulator, timeline, explorer, quiz, regulator).

  • 35 instruments across 3 regimes in the Framework Explorer, each with its own page carrying its status, provisions, timeline and sources.
  • 6 AI systems judged in 3 jurisdictions, 18 verdicts in all, each case with its own page.
  • Regime dossiers, a dated timeline, a literacy quiz and a decision game where you take a regulator's desk.
  • Every regulatory fact carries a named primary source and its verification date (verified 29 jul 2026).

The 50-State AI Law Atlas

Every United States state AI law on one interactive map: 51 jurisdictions across 4 surfaces (the atlas, the wave, federal vs states, method).

  • A live choropleth of enacted state AI law, filterable by category, with every entry carrying its citation, status, effective date and official source link.
  • Each jurisdiction has its own page: the answer to "what AI laws does my state have", with pending bills always labeled not law.
  • The Wave replays 2021 to 2027 month by month, through the Colorado repeal and the January 2027 wall of effective dates.
  • The collision layer maps the December 2025 executive order, the DOJ task force and xAI v. Weiser onto the state laws they named, described by what each action did, never by predicted outcomes.

Start with the question you came in with

The Arena publishes a page per case, so the comparison you need is one click away rather than one search away.

Or start from your state

The Atlas publishes a page per jurisdiction, so the answer for your state is one click away. A few that people ask about most:

Reading the law is step one. Implementing it is the job.

The programs teach the working practice behind these texts: classification calls, conformity assessment, filings, documentation, and the judgment to defend every decision you make.
