The AI-regulation dataset, as a clean JSON API

Every AI law and bill we track — US state & federal, the EU, and global regimes — behind one record shape, with a changelog you can poll and HMAC-signed webhooks for changes.

On top of the raw records sits an interpreted obligations layer — which duties, penalties and risk factors attach to a given business profile — computed deterministically, with no LLM in the path. The same data is exposed as an MCP server, so Claude and ChatGPT can query it live.
