# AI Law Tracker

> AI Law Tracker is an independent tracker of AI laws and compliance requirements across US states, the US federal layer, the EU, and other countries. Every record is audited against a primary government source and carries a verification date. The full dataset is available as a versioned JSON API with a free self-serve tier. Informational only — not legal advice.

Key facts:
- Coverage: all 50 US states + Washington D.C., the US federal framework, the EU AI Act, and 11 more countries — in one schema.
- Developer API: public, versioned `/api/v1`; free self-serve key; paid tiers from $29/mo; OpenAPI 3.1 spec; a pollable changelog and HMAC-signed webhooks.
- Data license: CC BY 4.0 — reuse commercially with attribution as "Data by AI Law Tracker (CC BY 4.0) — https://ai-law-tracker.com".
- Every record links to its primary `official_url`; verify there before relying on it.
- Counting rule: we publish TWO separate numbers — jurisdictions with *binding* AI legislation, and jurisdictions with a *voluntary* AI framework. They overlap (a country can have both) and must never be added together. Definition: https://ai-law-tracker.com/ai-scope
- Not legal advice. Coverage can lag or be incomplete.
