Where does the data come from?
Items on this page come from Federal Register; Official texts of each law and rule. Each item links to its own source. All sources, how items are checked.
What does this page lead to?
- Regulatory Exposure (Companies): Each law that comes into force adds obligations for the companies it covers; the Regulatory Exposure page lists the laws and matters that fit one company. (moves the same way; months; company scale) Source: Official texts: EUR-Lex, state legislatures, the Federal Register and national gazettes (each law links its own).
- Courts & Lawsuits (Companies): Regulators' AI matters often run beside private suits over the same conduct (training data and copyright, automated hiring tools); these are allegations until ruled on. (moves the same way; months; company scale) Source: CourtListener (Free Law Project), RECAP federal dockets and opinions.
- Lawmaking (Domestic Intelligence): States pass most U.S. AI rules (Colorado's AI Act, California's frontier-model transparency law), and those bills move through the state record on the Lawmaking page first. (moves the same way; months; economy scale) Source: LegiScan (state legislatures' bills and their status).
- AI Companies (AI): Duties such as the EU AI Act's model documentation, risk assessment and incident reporting add compliance costs for model developers, as set in each law's own text. (moves the same way; years; company scale) Source: Official texts: EUR-Lex, state legislatures, the Federal Register and national gazettes (each law links its own).
- Alliances & Blocs (World Powers): The EU AI Act applies to any firm offering AI in the EU, so EU rules reach U.S. developers; where U.S. and EU rules differ, firms carry two compliance regimes. (either way, depending on the cause; years; global scale) Source: Official texts: EUR-Lex, state legislatures, the Federal Register and national gazettes (each law links its own).
- Interest Groups (People & Money): Pending AI rules draw lobbying and political spending from developers and their backers, recorded in lda.gov lobbying filings and in FEC data for AI-industry PACs. (moves the same way; months; sector scale) Source: lda.gov Lobbying Disclosure Act filings.
What feeds this page?
- Regulatory Exposure (Companies): The laws and matters applied here come from the AI Law corpus, so a new law coming into force adds obligations to every company profile it covers. (moves the same way; months; sector scale) Source: Official texts: EUR-Lex, state legislatures, the Federal Register and national gazettes (each law links its own).
- Lawmaking (Domestic Intelligence): State legislatures pass most U.S. AI rules (Colorado, California, Texas), so the states' bill counts include the laws AI Law & Enforcement matches to companies. (moves the same way; months; sector scale) Source: LegiScan (state legislatures' bills and their status).
- Interest Groups (People & Money): AI-industry super PACs formed in 2025 spend for and against candidates over how AI should be regulated, the state and federal rules tracked on AI Law & Enforcement. (either way, depending on the cause; election cycle; sector scale) Source: FEC independent expenditures (outside spending).
