Countries are coloured by national AI-law status only: the federal or national statute or policy, not the strongest row. State and city laws are listed as “Also: state laws” and do not change the colour. An executive order does not count as a national AI law in force. Where the national policy is “No law”, another national rule such as a privacy amendment is listed separately and does not change the colour.
