Global AI & Privacy Laws Directory

The Global AI & Privacy Laws Directory is a straightforward reference database that collects information about privacy and artificial intelligence regulations from around the world. It presents this information in a clean, filterable table, allowing users to quickly find laws by country, region, or status. Each entry shows the law's common abbreviation, full name, year, current status, and the maximum financial penalty for violations.

The directory works by organizing publicly available legal information into a single, searchable interface. You can filter the 167 listed privacy laws by continent—such as Africa, Asia, Europe, or North America—and see whether they are active or still pending. A separate section lists AI-specific laws. What makes it useful is the consolidation of key compliance details, like penalty amounts (shown in local currency), which are often scattered across different government websites.

This tool is most helpful for lawyers, compliance teams, and business owners who need to understand the legal landscape for data privacy and AI in multiple countries. For example, a company expanding to South America could use it to compare Brazil's LGPD with Argentina's PDPL. A product manager developing an AI feature could check for specific AI regulations in their target markets. It saves time on initial research by providing a centralized starting point for global legal compliance.
