EU AI Act — Official Text

The consolidated regulation directly from EUR-Lex. Read the annexes — they define what "high-risk" actually means in practice, not the summaries.

NIST AI RMF

The US risk management framework. More flexible than EU law but more practically useful for building compliance arguments across jurisdictions.

OECD AI Policy Observatory

Tracks AI policies across 70+ countries including Pakistan, India, and UAE. Useful for cross-jurisdictional comparison without reading every national document.

Stanford HAI — AI Index

The most credible annual survey of AI research, policy, and adoption trends. The policy chapter is the one worth reading carefully.

Pakistan Law Site

Searchable database of Pakistani legislation and superior court judgments. The IHC, LHC, and Supreme Court decisions are reasonably up to date.

Indian Kanoon

Free full-text search across Indian court judgments from all High Courts and the Supreme Court. Underused by non-Indian researchers despite its quality.

ICANN / Internet Governance

For matters touching digital identity, domain disputes, and internet governance law — jurisdictionally complex but increasingly relevant.

Google Scholar — Case Law

Underrated for finding legal scholarship. The "Cited by" function is useful for tracing how a judgment has been interpreted across subsequent cases.

EDPB — European Data Protection Board

Official guidance on GDPR interpretation. The opinions and guidelines are more useful than most academic commentary on GDPR compliance questions.

California AG — CCPA Resources

Official CCPA guidance and enforcement actions. The enforcement letters are the most informative documents for understanding what the AG prioritizes.

IAPP Global Privacy Law Tracker

Tracks the status of privacy legislation across all major jurisdictions. The Pakistan PDPA status is included — worth checking quarterly.

Pakistan — Personal Data Protection Bill

Track legislative progress and any draft regulations from the regulator. Still evolving — check for updates before relying on older summaries.

The Digital Gavel

My newsletter covering AI governance, digital rights, and international law with a South Asian lens. Published when there is something worth saying.

AI Snake Oil — Narayanan & Kapoor

The most rigorous critical perspective on AI claims and hype. Essential reading before citing any AI capability study in a legal or policy argument.

Lawfare

Serious analysis at the intersection of law and national security, including digital governance. The AI and tech law coverage is consistently high-quality.

Tech Policy Press

Good coverage of tech policy issues with genuine attention to non-Western jurisdictions. Fills a gap that most US-centric newsletters ignore entirely.
