How to use this information

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.
Use the African Union Continental AI Strategy (2024) as the regional reference where a national instrument is missing.
