How to read each stack
The three regimes do not just say different things. They are organised differently, so the order you read them in changes what you find.
European Union: The Pyramid
One regulation, four risk tiers, two years of phased deadlines. The law text is the map.
United States: The Patchwork
No map. Triangulate: executive orders for direction, state statutes for the binding rules, agencies for enforcement.
China: The Registry
Read the registry. If a service is filed it is legal, and if it is not filed it does not exist. Vertical rules fill in per technology.
Want to work inside one of these stacks rather than read across them? The EU AI Act Implementation Expert program takes you through Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 duty by duty, and the China AI Regulation Program covers the filing regime the registry column here describes.
