EU Artificial Intelligence Tracker
Monitor key dates and information on legal and regulatory developments about artificial intelligence in the EU
This EU Artificial Intelligence tracker monitors key dates and information on legal and policy developments surrounding artificial intelligence in the EU. It covers major legislative initiatives, law reforms and policy updates impacting artificial intelligence in the European Union.
We are delighted to share with you a new free tool to support you in following developments in the regulation of artificial intelligence in the European Union.
Our EU Artificial Intelligence Tracker has been developed for monitoring law, regulation and policy affecting artificial intelligence.
It provides insights into how governments and regulators in the European Union are modernising the rules of the AI economy.
This broader context underlines why our focused resource on artificial intelligence matters.
With AI technology advancing faster than legal frameworks can adapt, staying informed has become crucial for businesses, policymakers, developers, lawyers and researchers.
The volume and complexity of regulatory materials can be overwhelming, and many organisations are seeking an accessible way to understand how and when new policies may influence their work.
Our EU Artificial Intelligence tracker responds to this need by bringing information together in a structured way, making it easier for readers to keep up to date and understand what is happening in this critically important area.
It is part of our commitment to provide clear context and reliable guidance in a field that is increasingly important to society and industry.
Instead of expecting readers to piece together updates from multiple sources, our EU Artificial Intelligence tracker brings these developments together in one place.
When you visit the tracker you will see a list of sections dedicated to different elements of the regulatory programme, including the EU AI Act, a future EU AI tracker covering developments from 2025 onwards, an archive of the EU AI tracker covering 2021 to 2024, an even earlier archive covering 2014 to 2020, an entry on the EU AI liability directive (now withdrawn) and a section on the framework convention.
Each of these sections is curated with the same care and attention to detail.
By structuring the tracker in this way, we aim to provide a convenient path through the information without requiring any specialist knowledge for our readers.
Readers can simply select the section that is relevant to them and see the chronology of updates (based on the dates of events).
One of the highlights of the tracker is its coverage of the EU AI Act, which is arguably the most significant piece of legislation on artificial intelligence in the European Union so far.
Our EU AI Act tracker provides a clear and reliable overview of developments surrounding this landmark legislation. It brings together structured updates on the AI Act’s progress, status and key provisions.
We know that not everyone who is interested in artificial intelligence policy is a lawyer, so we have worked to ensure that the entries are written in straightforward language and that the chronology of events is easy to follow.
The tracker is updated regularly to help readers stay informed.
This means that as soon as there are official announcements, publications or policy statements, they will be reflected in the tracker with a note explaining their significance and a link to the official document.
Our aim is to ensure that you have a trusted source to consult whenever you need to know what has happened and when, without needing to wade through legal jargon or inconsistent secondary reporting from other unreliable sources.
The importance of following these developments cannot be overstated.
Laws and regulations on artificial intelligence influence product design, risk management, data governance, procurement strategies, investment decisions and research agendas.
Our EU AI Tracker can help identify compliance obligations early on, allowing time to plan resources and align processes.
It offers insight into how the European Union is setting standards and how different institutions are coordinating.
It provides a timeline that can frame scholarly work and ensures that analyses reflect the most up to date information.
The EU AI Tracker is a way of ensuring that public discussions are grounded in facts because the tracker collates AI legal and regulatory developments in the EU into a single accessible webpage, therefore reducing the risk of missing important updates and supports more informed public conversations.
It is also designed to be intuitive so that people who are new to the topic can start exploring without feeling overwhelmed.
While the EU AI Act is currently the most prominent component of the tracker, the other sections are equally valuable.
The EU AI tracker covering developments from 2025 onwards will capture future changes and provide a forward looking view.
The section on the liability directive, although the directive has been withdrawn, preserves information about that proposal and allows readers to understand why it was proposed and why it has been set aside.
The AI framework convention section records updates relating to broader conventions or agreements on artificial intelligence within the European Union.
The archives covering 2021 to 2024 and 2014 to 2020 provide historical context, showing how policy thinking about artificial intelligence has developed over time.
We have meticulously maintained the archive so that the tracker allows readers to trace the line of legal and policy developments across a decade of debate and reflection.
This historical perspective is important because it offers insight into how priorities have changed, which may help readers anticipate future areas of focus.
The clear separation of sections also makes it simple to access the periods or topics that matters most to you, whether you are analysing a specific regulatory instrument or looking at the bigger picture.
Behind the scenes, we will update the EU AI tracker on a weekly basis, ensuring it remains accurate.
Each entry includes the date of the development, a brief description of its nature and a link to the official source.
We do not summarise or interpret the content of the laws or regulations themselves; instead we provide enough information to help you identify whether a development is relevant to you and where you can find the official text.
This approach respects the complexity of legal documents while still offering a helpful guide.
We invite you to explore the EU AI tracker and to share this free tool with your wider network, encouraging them to subscribe to our newsletter so they don’t miss any updates.
Your feedback will help us improve our EU AI tracker; if you have suggestions for features or notice any missing developments, we would be pleased to hear from you.
This collaborative approach reflects our broader mission to demystify technology law and to make it accessible to a general audience, ensuring that our readers feel empowered to engage with regulations and law in a constructive way.
The introduction of the EU Artificial Intelligence tracker represents an important step in making complex policy developments understandable and accessible.
We are in the process of developing an EU Cybersecurity Tracker and also an EU Privacy Tracker. Look out for announcements in the coming weeks.
