Which countries require AI transparency?
Duties to tell people they are dealing with AI, to label AI-generated content, or to disclose AI use in a decision.
25 of 109 reviewed jurisdictions address this in at least one tracked instrument. Updated 2026-10-06.
Each answer cites the instrument it rests on; open it for the provision and the full analysis. Whether a rule is binding law, a bill or guidance comes from the instrument's type and status, not from wording.
“Not found” means none of the instruments we track for that jurisdiction addresses the topic. It is not a finding that no such rule exists.
