East-West v2 — jurisdiction crosswalk
Nine regimes mapped, signed from day one, regulator streams free forever. The crosswalk measures the map as it is, never as we wish it. mapped · never compliant · determination stays with authorities.
| regime | instrument | status | note / clock |
|---|---|---|---|
| European Union | EU AI Act (Reg. 2024/1689) + Art 50 GPAI | MAPPED | Art 50(2) retrofit clock, first GPAI investigations est. Q4 2026. ⏰ Dec 2 2026 |
| United Kingdom | AI Act (principles-based) + FCA/ICO conduct | MAPPED | Principles-based; perimeter watch only — JI.4 discipline. |
| Brazil | Bill 2338/2023 | MAPPED | Largest LatAm regime, mapped before final passage — dated bill-status rows, never predictions. |
| Korea | AI Basic Act | MAPPED | Grace expiry is a guaranteed dated news moment; MSIT "reads artifacts" intake pattern. ⏰ Jan 22 2027 |
| Japan | AI Promotion Act (2025) — light touch | MAPPED | Voluntary regime; procurement-led demand. Honest row: no state stick → private proof matters more. |
| India | DPDP Act + rules | MAPPED | Largest open measurement market with no incumbent independent body. First-mover desk. |
| Singapore | MAS SAFR + AI Verify | MAPPED | Complement note: they test, we sign measurement — "we conform, never certified". |
| Canada | No federal AI law (AIDA died on prorogation) | MAPPED | Honest empty desk: Quebec Law 25 + voluntary code mapped; the honest row beats a hopeful one. |
| Australia | Voluntary Safety Standard + proposed mandatory guardrails | MAPPED | Voluntary → mandatory transition is the demand window. |
| Saudi Arabia / UAE | SDAIA + UAE AI Office | MAPPED | Data-residency honesty row disclosed where the trust-root anchors live. |
| African Union | AU Continental AI Strategy (2024) | MAPPED | 54-state adoption map seeded; long-game positioning, never aid-washing. |
Honesty rows appear where a regime is voluntary, stalled, or dead (Canada: no federal AI law today). A desk opens BEFORE its clock — never after.
