Global Laws Reference

This page provides a concise mapping of each supported regulatory framework (outside the EU) to the Geodesia G-1 features that satisfy its requirements.


ISO/IEC 42001:2023

International standard for AI management systems. Published in December 2023, it is the ISO equivalent of ISO 27001 but for AI systems. Organizations can be certified against it.

Clause Requirement Geodesia G-1
§5.2 AI policy config.yaml — applicable laws, purpose, scope
§6.1 Risk assessment FRIA
§8.4 Impact assessment FRIA — impact sections
§8.5 AI system lifecycle Model switching, threshold management
§9.1 Monitoring and measurement Dashboard, audit chain
§9.3 Management review Compliance report
§10.1 Continual improvement Oversight decisions feed ground-truth loop
Annex A.6.2.6 Explainability XAI
Annex A.6.2.7 Controllability Kill switch
Annex A.8.3 Sensitive data Retention policy

NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0

Voluntary framework for managing AI risk published by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. Widely adopted in US federal and enterprise contexts.

Function Category Geodesia G-1
GOVERN AI risk governance Applicable laws config, FRIA
GOVERN 1.7 Processes for deploying AI safely Kill switch, kill-switch test
MAP 1.5 Likelihood of bias Detection thresholds, oversight
MEASURE 2.5 AI system performance Dashboard, scorecard
MEASURE 4.1 Measurement feedback Oversight decisions loop
MANAGE 1.3 Risk treatment Blocking enforcement modes
MANAGE 3.2 Risk response plan Kill switch + incident log

California SB 942 — AI Transparency Act

Effective January 1, 2026. Applies to providers of AI systems that generate synthetic content and have more than 1 million monthly users.

Requirement Geodesia G-1 Feature Notes
Watermark AI-generated content Latent watermark HMAC-SHA256 token
Make the watermark detectable Verify endpoint POST /v1/glad/watermark/verify
Manifest disclosure in content geodesia.watermark.disclosure in response Configurable text
Suspend service within 72 hours Kill switch auto_deactivate_hours: 72

Quick setup for CA SB 942:

watermark:
  enabled: true
  disclosure_text: "This content was generated by an artificial intelligence system."
kill_switch:
  enabled: true
app:
  applicable_laws:
    - CA_SB_942


Italy 132/2025

Italy's Decree-Law on Artificial Intelligence (in force 2025). Imposes AI content disclosure, marking of synthetic media, and sectoral restrictions for critical infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

Requirement Coverage
Mark AI-generated content Manifest watermark + disclosure field
Detectable AI content marker Latent HMAC-SHA256 token
Maintain logs of AI operations Audit chain
Human oversight for high-risk sectors Oversight queue + FRIA

UK Data Use and Access Act 2025

UK DUAA 2025 establishes a framework for responsible data use and AI transparency in the UK post-Brexit. Key AI-related requirements focus on transparency, accountability, and user rights.

Requirement Coverage
Transparency about AI systems Deployer manual, provider identity
Accountability framework FRIA, audit chain
Individual rights in automated decisions Human oversight + override
Reporting to regulators Compliance report export

Brazil 2338/2023

Brazil's AI Regulation Bill 2338 establishes a risk-based framework aligned with the EU AI Act. Requirements for high-impact systems:

Requirement Coverage
Fundamental rights impact assessment FRIA module
Technical documentation Deployer manual
Human oversight for high-risk Oversight queue
Incident reporting Audit chain + compliance report
Transparency Manifest watermark + disclosure

Canada AIDA (C-27)

Canada's Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (part of Bill C-27):

Requirement Coverage
High-impact system designation and documentation FRIA + deployer manual
Impact assessment FRIA module
Mitigation measures Detection thresholds, blocking enforcement
Ongoing monitoring Dashboard + audit chain
Human oversight Oversight queue

China GB/T 45654

China's national standard for generative AI services (effective 2025):

Requirement Coverage
Content filtering Safety detection axes (prompt + answer safety, jailbreak)
Logging and record-keeping Audit chain
Watermark/label AI-generated content Latent + manifest watermark
User complaint mechanism Human oversight queue
Prohibited content blocking Blocking enforcement mode

Colorado SB21-169

Colorado's Artificial Intelligence Act focuses on consequential automated decisions in insurance, financial services, employment, and housing.

Requirement Coverage
Bias and impact assessment FRIA module
Transparency to consumers Deployer manual, disclosure
Human review of adverse decisions Oversight queue
Audit trails Audit chain

NYC Local Law 144

NYC LL144 applies to automated employment decision tools (AEDTs). It requires:

Requirement Coverage
Annual bias audit Detection statistics via dashboard + compliance report
Disclosure to job candidates Watermark + disclosure field
Audit report publication Compliance report export (PDF/DOCX)

SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 is an auditing framework for service organizations. The following Trust Services Criteria are satisfied:

Criterion Coverage
CC6.1 — Logical access License token-based access control
CC7.2 — System monitoring Dashboard + audit chain
CC7.3 — Incident response Kill switch + oversight escalation
CC9.2 — Risk mitigation Detection thresholds + FRIA
A1.2 — Availability capacity Health check endpoints + kill switch
PI1.4 — Processing integrity Audit chain + HMAC chain verification

GDPR (Data Protection)

While GDPR is primarily a data protection regulation rather than an AI-specific law, several provisions apply to AI systems that process personal data:

Article Requirement Coverage
Art. 5(1)(e) Storage limitation Configurable retention policy
Art. 22 Automated individual decisions Human oversight override capability
Art. 30 Records of processing activities Audit chain entries
Art. 35 Data protection impact assessment FRIA module (maps to DPIA)
Art. 83 Penalties Monitoring + incident logging

Note: GDPR compliance requires organizational and contractual measures beyond what any single software system can provide. Geodesia G-1 supplies the technical controls; legal, policy, and procedural compliance remain the deployer's responsibility.
