AI Regulator

AI regulators are government bodies or officials with legal authority to supervise, enforce, or issue rules on artificial intelligence, such as the European Commission's AI Office under the EU AI Act, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and national data protection authorities that police AI uses of personal data. For enterprise compliance teams, these bodies set the obligations an organization must meet, decide what counts as a prohibited or high-risk system, and can impose fines or orders to stop using a product. Tracking which regulators have jurisdiction over a company's AI systems, and how each one interprets its powers, is now a core part of legal and risk planning.
