How we research these guides, and why we publish them
Who writes them, how they are researched, and the standards we hold them to, so you can judge how far to trust what you read here.
Why we publish these
We are a practical AI advisory firm. Most of the questions we are asked, by founders, operators, advisers and people responsible for getting AI right inside an organisation, start from the same place: a need for a clear, accurate explanation of something that is usually written about badly. The field moves quickly, much of what is published is either marketing or alarm, and reliable plain-English reference material is scarce.
So we write the explanations we wish already existed. The library is deliberately broad, covering concepts, institutions, standards and the AI regulatory position of countries and regions around the world. Writing these is part of how we think: the same clear view of what AI actually means for an organisation is what we bring to the firms we work with.
How we research them
Every guide is built from primary and official sources first: legislation, regulator guidance, official standards catalogues, treaty texts and government policy. We use high-quality secondary sources only to add context once the primary position is established, and we do not rely on vendor blogs, marketing pages or unsourced commentary for legal or regulatory claims. Each guide lists its sources so you can check them yourself.
Where a country has no dedicated AI framework yet, we say so, rather than pad the entry to look fuller. Where a legal position is unsettled or contested, we set out what is confirmed, what is pending and what could still change, so you can see the shape of the uncertainty rather than a false picture of settled law.
How they are kept current
AI regulation changes constantly. Each guide carries a "last reviewed" date so you can see how current it is, and we revise them as the position moves. A date tells you when we last checked, not that nothing has changed since, so for anything you intend to act on, treat these guides as a well-researched starting point and verify the current position against the primary sources we cite.
What these guides are not
They are general reference, not advice. They do not account for the particular circumstances, obligations or regulatory environment of any individual organisation, and they are not a substitute for professional legal, financial or compliance advice for your situation. If you need that, that is a conversation we are happy to have directly.
These guides are researched, written and reviewed under my direction. If you have any comments, or would like us to produce an article or offer guidance on a particular topic, please feel free to email me at henry.rhodes@levellers.ai.
If a guide leaves you wondering how AI fits your own work, that is the conversation we have with clients.
