Which AI rules are law, and which tell you how to do the work? We sorted all 46 we're tracking: 23 mapped now and 23 planned for 2027, with two free guides.
October 15, 2026
This is the full list of AI regulations, standards and guidelines we're paying attention to right now. 46 documents in all. 23 are already mapped into the Unified Control Fabric.
The other 23 are planned for 2027.
Each one is tagged with the question it answers.
Is it required by law?
Or does it tell you how to organize the work, prove it, or implement it?
The older documents mostly answer the first two. The newer ones lean toward law and implementation.
That makes sense. Regulators are setting more dates, and industry bodies like OWASP and CSA have stepped up to write the controls to meet them.
Ten of the laws on this list take effect in 2026 or 2027.

We have two free guides.
The AI Governance Shortlist covers the 23 we've already mapped. For each one, it explains who issues it, why it matters, what it covers, and how many requirements we pulled from it.
The AI Mapping Roadmap covers the 23 we will be mapping in 2027, with the same breakdown of their purpose and the dates they take effect.
