AI Regulation Reference: A Structured Database of AI Compliance Obligations Across Jurisdictions

If your organization builds or deploys AI systems, you are already subject to overlapping regulations from multiple jurisdictions — and the list is growing. Figuring out which rules apply, what they require, and when enforcement begins means cross-referencing dozens of documents that use different terminology for the same obligations. AI Regulation Reference is an open-source, structured database that tracks compliance obligations across 12 regulations spanning the EU, US federal agencies, and six US states. Instead of organizing by regulation, it uses an obligation-first ontology: stable compliance concepts like transparency, human oversight, and bias prevention serve as anchors, with specific regulatory provisions mapped to them. Quickstart git clone https://github.com/snapsynapse/ai-regulation-reference.git cd ai-regulation-reference node scripts/build.js This generates the static site and JSON API under docs/. To validate cross-references in the ontology: node scripts/validate-onto
