United States AI rules mapped to ISO/IEC 42001
Each row is one legal duty recorded for United States and the clause of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 it corresponds to. Use it to find which duties your existing evidence already reaches.
Coverage of this crosswalk
4 of 7 recorded United States duties carry a mapping
The denominator is the number of duties this platform has broken out for United States, not the number of duties the law contains. Unmapped duties are ones no reviewer has crosswalked yet, not ones the standard fails to address.

What a mapping means
The duty and the clause ask for overlapping work, so evidence produced for one is likely to be reusable for the other. Confidence records how direct that overlap is.
What it does not mean
ISO/IEC 42001 certification does not discharge a legal duty and carries no force in United States. A mapped row still has to be complied with on the statute's own terms.
