NZ AI Policy Tracker
This is the NZ AI Policy Tracker, brought to you by the Brainbox Institute. The tracker is a one-stop resource for information about Aotearoa New Zealand’s AI regulatory landscape, focusing primarily on government policies, but also including inputs from civil society and academia. It will be regularly updated and welcomes submissions.
Where specific days are not known for dates, we have opted to enter the first day of the month. On the rare occasions where a month is not known, we have entered YYYY/06/01 for sorting purposes.
