SingaporePractical governance framework from Singapore focused on organizational implementation. Covers internal governance, risk management, operations and stakeholder relations. Includes implementation guide with examples from the financial and healthcare sectors.
OECD AI Principles
OECDAdopted by 40+ countries, they define five fundamental principles: inclusive growth, human-centered values, transparency, robustness and safety, and accountability. Foundation for AI public policies worldwide.
Regulation in Brazil
The Brazilian legal and regulatory framework applicable to Artificial Intelligence systems.
PL 2338/2023 — AI Legal Framework
In progressMain bill for comprehensive AI regulation in Brazil. Adopts a risk-based approach, establishes rights for affected persons (explanation, contestation, human review), transparency obligations and algorithmic impact assessment.
LGPD + Artificial Intelligence
In forceThe General Data Protection Law (Law 13,709/2018) is already the main legal instrument applicable to AI systems in Brazil. Article 20 guarantees the right to review automated decisions and requires a legal basis for processing training data.

RegulatorThe National Data Protection Authority has led regulatory sandbox initiatives for AI, allowing controlled testing of innovations under supervision. Published guides and technical notes on generative AI and data processing for model training.
Marco Civil da Internet
In forceLaw 12,965/2014 establishes principles, guarantees, rights and duties for internet use in Brazil. Relevant to AI for defining platform liability regime, net neutrality and data protection that apply to AI-based services.
International Regulation
Major AI legislation and regulatory initiatives around the world.
EU AI Act
EU — In forceThe world's first comprehensive AI legislation. Bans practices such as social scoring and mass biometric surveillance, creates specific obligations for generative AI and foundation models. Progressive implementation through 2027.
US Executive Order on AI Safety
USAOctober 2023 executive order that established safety requirements for frontier models, NIST standards for risk assessment and transparency obligations. Influenced the global debate even after revocation in January 2025.
AI Regulation in China
ChinaSector-specific approach with targeted regulations: Recommendation Algorithm Rules (2022), Deep Synthesis/Deepfake Regulation (2023) and Generative AI Management Measures (2023). Focus on content control and social security.
UK AI Safety Institute (AISI)
United KingdomPioneering institution worldwide dedicated to evaluating the safety of frontier AI models. Conducts pre-launch testing of advanced models and develops methodologies for assessing catastrophic and existential AI risks.
Tools and Guides
Toolkits, methodologies and practical guides for responsible AI assessment and implementation.
IBM AI Fairness 360 (AIF360)
Open SourceOpen-source toolkit with over 70 fairness metrics and 10 bias mitigation algorithms for machine learning models. Supports bias detection in training data and in predictions of already-deployed models.
Google Model Cards
DocumentationML model documentation framework that standardizes information about performance, limitations, training data and ethical considerations. Promotes transparency and facilitates suitability assessments for specific use cases.
Microsoft HAX Toolkit
UX + AIMicrosoft's set of tools and guidelines for designing human-AI experiences. Includes interaction guidelines, design patterns for transparency and templates for user experience impact assessment.
Algorithmic Impact Assessments (AIA)
CanadaStructured methodology for evaluating potential social, ethical and human rights impacts of algorithmic systems before and during deployment. Inspired by environmental impact assessments and data protection impact assessments (DPIA).
Reference Publications
Reports, papers and fundamental publications on AI governance and policy.
OECD AI Policy Observatory — AI Publications
OECDComprehensive repository of OECD publications on AI policy, including cross-country comparative analyses, governance metrics and reports on the economic and social impacts of AI.
