AI Regulations Resource Hub
A practitioner reference to global AI regulation — US state laws, the EU AI Act, Singapore's IMDA framework for agentic AI, and NIST AI RMF — with applicability checklists, FAQs, and cross-framework control mappings.
Navigating the Fragmented Landscape of AI Regulation
AI regulation in 2026 is global, fragmented, and moving fast. The European Union has shipped the world’s first comprehensive binding AI law. The United States is operating under a patchwork of state statutes overlaid on the voluntary NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Singapore has just published the first government-issued governance framework dedicated specifically to agentic AI, and other Asia-Pacific regimes are following. The result is that any organisation deploying AI faces a stack of overlapping obligations rather than a single jurisdiction to satisfy.
For business and engineering leaders, the practical challenge is no longer "are we regulated?" — you almost certainly are, somewhere — but "which regimes apply to which of our AI systems, and how do we run one compliance programme that satisfies them all?" The risks are concrete: discrimination claims from algorithmic bias, prompt-injection breaches of agentic systems, undeclared AI use triggering consumer-protection enforcement, and — increasingly — vendor risk questionnaires that gate enterprise deals.
TrustEdge maintains this resource hub as a practitioner reference: state-by-state coverage of US AI legislation, plus the federal and international frameworks (NIST AI RMF, the Singapore Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI, the EU AI Act) that are converging into a shared global standard. Each framework page includes an applicability checklist, an FAQ, a control-mapping table, and quick-start steps so you can see at a glance how the framework intersects with your existing SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, or ISO 42001 programme.
Whether you are a SaaS founder shipping LLM features, a healthcare administrator deploying clinical AI, or a compliance officer building an AI risk register, the goal is the same: move beyond compliance theater and operate AI systems that are transparent, accountable, and legally defensible across every regime that touches them.

Federal & International Frameworks
The voluntary and binding frameworks that, in combination, define the global AI governance baseline — NIST AI RMF (US federal voluntary), Singapore IMDA MGF for Agentic AI (voluntary, internationally influential), and the EU AI Act (binding law with extraterritorial reach).
NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0)
Voluntary federal framework for managing AI risks — increasingly referenced in state legislation.
Singapore Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI
The first government-issued framework specifically for autonomous AI agents — four dimensions for safe agentic deployment.
EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689)
The world's first comprehensive, binding AI law — risk-based obligations on providers and deployers, phased through 2027, with extraterritorial reach.
Other States
As of May 22, 2026, the following 40 states have not enacted AI-specific statutes, though many have introduced proposals or executive orders related to AI governance. We monitor these jurisdictions and will add coverage as legislation advances.
As of May 22, 2026. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. It is the responsibility of consumers of this data that they verify the applicability and current ratified statutes and legal precedence with a qualified attorney licensed in the state or country they are researching.
