Key Findings

•Dedicated AI laws/acts remain rare globally compared with strategies, guidelines, or principles.
•Major economies can have extensive AI governance via sectoral regulation without a single AI-specific act.
•The policy landscape is changing rapidly; the number of countries with AI laws is expected to rise as comprehensive AI bills progress.

About This Statistic

This statistic indicates whether a country has adopted at least one dedicated, national-level law or act explicitly focused on artificial intelligence (AI)—for example an “AI Act” or AI-specific legislation that sets legal requirements, prohibitions, rights, or obligations tied directly to AI systems.

The data is drawn from the OECD AI Policy Observatory (OECD.AI) AI Policy Tracker, which catalogues AI-related policies and classifies them by instrument type (including “law/act”). A value of 1 means at least one AI-focused law/act is recorded as adopted at the national level; 0 means none is recorded in the tracker at the time of extraction. This is a fast-moving policy space, so the status can change as new laws are enacted or entered into the tracker.
