Regulatory Frameworks — EU, US, UK, Korea
Four primary regulatory regimes define the 2026 AI governance landscape. EU AI Act (in force 1 August 2024) — prohibited practices and AI literacy from 2 February 2025; GPAI obligations from 2 August 2025; full applicability and Article 50 transparency 2 August 2026; legacy GPAI and embedded high-risk systems 2 August 2027; penalties up to 15M EUR or 3% of global turnover. GPAI Code of Practice (10 July 2025): three chapters — Transparency, Copyright, Safety and Security — 12 commitments; enforcement begins August 2026. UK AISI -> AI Security Institute (February 2025): rename signals narrower scope. US AISI -> CAISI (June 2025): Center for AI Standards and Innovation under NIST; shift toward pro-growth posture. Korean AI Framework Act (passed December 2024, effective January 2026): Article 12 establishes AISI under MSIT; mandates local representatives for foreign AI companies, risk assessment, safety measures for high-impact and generative AI. Describe the EU AI Act risk tiers (prohibited, high-risk, general-purpose, limited-risk) and the August 2025 / August 2026 / August 2027 timeline. Describe the three chapters of the GPAI Code of Practice and which providers each binds. Describe the 2025 rebrands: UK AISI -> AI Security Institute; US AISI -> CAISI; what each rebrand implies about policy direction. State the core provision of Korea's AI Framework Act. Lab frameworks (Lesson 18) are voluntary. Regulatory…
