Global AI Regulations & Compliance

Your guide to staying ahead in a shifting regulatory landscape

AI regulation is no longer a distant conversation — it’s already here. From the EU’s landmark AI Act to rapidly developing frameworks in the UK, US, Canada, China, and beyond, the rules around how AI can be built, used, and governed are evolving fast.

At NexterLaw, we help organizations make sense of these changes. This resource page is designed to give legal teams, compliance officers, product leads, and policy makers the clarity they need to act confidently and responsibly in a global environment.
