Frequently asked questions
What counts as a change?
A dated development in the life of an instrument: adoption, entry into force, an amendment, a withdrawal, a gazette notice, the opening or closing of a consultation, or guidance being issued under it. Each entry says what changed and what it means in practice, and links the official source.
How far back does the change log go?
To 2017, which is where the earliest recorded national AI strategies sit. Entries are grouped by year, and the whole log is available as an RSS feed and through the API.
Will I be told when something changes?
Follow a jurisdiction or an instrument and you will be alerted when a change is recorded against it. There is also a digest you can subscribe to. Both are free.
