This project was submitted by Angela John. It was a runner-up for the “Best Interactive Deliverable” prize in our AI Governance Course (Aug 2024). Participants worked on these projects for 4 weeks. The text below is an excerpt from the final project.
AI regulation is moving fast. New bills are introduced, amended, and enacted every week across dozens of jurisdictions and keeping up with that pace has traditionally required a team of analysts, expensive legal subscriptions, or hours of manual research.
I built the Global AI Regulation Hub to change that. It’s an interactive map that tracks artificial intelligence legislation across the US and globally, pulling live data from sources including LegiScan and Digital Policy Alerts to give users an at-a-glance view of the regulatory landscape, from proposed bills to enacted laws, as it actually evolves.
What made this project meaningful to me is how it came to exist. Historically, policy professionals without engineering backgrounds have been limited in the kinds of tools they can create. Our output has largely been documents, decks, and frameworks; valuable, but constrained by what we could build ourselves. AI changed that. Using vibe coding, I was able to design and ship a fully functional, data-driven web application without a traditional engineering background.
That shift matters beyond this one tool. It means policy and compliance practitioners can now build the interfaces that best serve their work, rather than waiting in the queue for engineering resources or squeezing insights into a slide. The Global AI Regulation Hub is a proof of concept for that idea: that the people closest to a problem can now be the ones who build the solution.
