      How to read this map

      Every score runs from 1 to 5 and belongs to one of two lenses.

      Implementation

      How much AI governance is in force and operating: the implementation index, regulation status, policy lever and enforcement level.

      1 means no observable activity. 5 means the rules are in force, the bodies are staffed and acting, and enforcement is routine and published.

      Governance style

      How a country governs AI, not how well. Governance type runs from centralised (1) to distributed (5); actor involvement from narrow (1) to broad (5). Neither end is better.

      A higher score is not a better score. The map shows how much is in force, not whether the rules are good, fair or effective.

      The implementation index is the mean of the three implementation dimensions. Each dimension is the mean of four sub-indicators: open one in a country’s entry to see each score and what its level means.

      Every entry has a confidence rating for how well its sources support it. Countries rated low confidence are hatched on the map (switch this off under Filter). Grey countries have no data.

      Read the methodology for every level of every sub-indicator.
