The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across jurisdictions and sectors has triggered work on robust governance frameworks globally. The broad, simultaneous advance of AI rules presents an opportunity and a risk. With many regulatory approaches emerging, governments have an opportunity to learn rapidly about effective tools to regulate AI. At the same time, a hardening patchwork of AI rules risks a fragmentation of the global AI market into isolated regional blocs. This study leverages a novel dataset of eleven AI rulebooks to: 1) Map the scope and scale of current AI governance and link it to established OECD AI Principles. 2) Develop a framework to assess where and how diverging regulations might lead to digital fragmentation, offering insights into the coordination required to mitigate such risks.
