Does the EU AI Act apply to non-EU companies? EU
It can. It covers providers placing AI on the EU market, and providers and deployers whose system outputs are used in the EU.
Is the NIST AI RMF mandatory? Global
No. It is voluntary guidance, though customers and regulators often ask about alignment.
Do we need ISO/IEC 42001 certification? Global
No. It is optional, but it gives independent evidence of a working AI management system.
Provider or deployer: which am I? EU
A provider develops an AI system, or has one developed, and puts it on the market under its own name. A deployer uses a system under its own authority.
Does a US executive order cancel state AI laws? US
Not by itself. As of the review date, state AI laws remain in effect unless a court or Congress says otherwise. This is not settled.
Is there a UK AI Act? UK
Not as of the review date. The UK takes a principles-based approach led by existing regulators.
Does India have an AI law? IN
Partly. There are binding rules on synthetic content and personal data, but no comprehensive AI statute as of the review date.
Does using ClearPath make us compliant?
