Region-aware AI law

CSOAI maintains a live crosswalk of every major AI governance regime. An agent governed to the Charter can be mapped to whichever framework a region demands — and re-mapped when it crosses a border.

The 52-Article Partnership Charter

The hub that connects all 6 regions. CSOAI's Charter is the pivot — 22 articles shared between EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, 18 between EU and UK, 15 between EU and APAC, 8 between every region. When in doubt, default to the Charter.
