By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The 2026 Global Index on Responsible AI report, based on data from November 2023 to September 2025, reveals that while 126 out of 135 countries have adopted AI governance policies, these often lack enforceability. The report highlights that Global South countries have a higher percentage of non-binding frameworks compared to the Global North. Furthermore, government commitment to AI governance does not consistently extend to their own algorithmic deployments, with only 18% of countries requiring public disclosure of government algorithms, despite a general trend towards transparency. AI

IMPACT Highlights the gap between AI policy adoption and effective enforcement, particularly concerning government use of algorithms.
