- Open the official source on each instrument before relying on any date or obligation.
- Treat strategies and guidance as signals of coming regulation, not as binding requirements.
- Check data-protection, consumer, employment and sector law that applies to AI systems regardless of AI-specific instruments.
- Treat the absence of an AI-specific instrument as a gap in our records, not as legal certainty; check the government portal and regulator sites linked here.
