AI regulation
Last updated
Laws, standards, and agency rules that govern **how AI systems are built, deployed, labeled, and audited** — often by sector and region.
When to use
Explaining compliance for hiring tools, healthcare AI, children's apps, biometric data, or high-risk automated decisions.
When not to
Regulation is not one global rulebook — a consumer chatbot hobby project and a bank's credit model face very different obligations.
Example
The EU AI Act tiers systems by risk; a résumé screener may need documentation, human oversight, and bias testing before deployment.
