Global Digital Compact

United Nations

Guidance

Surfaced wherever an AI system is designed, developed, deployed or used, in any sector, for civilian purposes: para. 4 scopes the Compact to the non-military domain and it names no sector, size or entity class. It creates no duty on anyone — its commitments are what Governments will do; its paragraphs addressed to companies, developers and platforms (22, 25, 32, 36) are calls; and endorsement (66) is voluntary. Two rows are conditioned on hosting user-generated content (32 (d), 36 (b)) and one on generating synthetic content (36 (c)), because those paragraphs are addressed to platforms and to content generators respectively.

United States (accreditation)

NIST AI 600-1

United States (voluntary)

Guidance

Surfaced where the declared AI system is generative — the profile's own scope is generative AI as defined in Executive Order 14110, being the class of models that emulate the structure and characteristics of input data to generate derived synthetic content. Every one of the 49 covered subcategories applies to any organisation that adopts the profile; it draws no distinction by sector, size, use case or data type.

Framework · In Force

OECD AI Principles

International (intergovernmental, voluntary)

Guidance

Surfaced for any AI deployment as a voluntary international reference. The Recommendation draws no distinction by sector, size, use case or data type; paragraph I defines an AI system broadly enough to cover generative systems, a clarification made expressly in the 2023 amendment, and defines AI actors to include organisations that deploy or operate AI. Section 1 is what reaches a deployer; Section 2 is addressed to Adherent governments.

Framework · In Force

OWASP LLM Top 10

International (community standard)

Guidance

Surfaced where the declared AI system is generative: the catalogue's scope is applications powered by large language models, across the development, deployment and management lifecycle. All ten entries apply to any organisation that applies the list; it draws no distinction by sector, size, use case or data type. Where the model acts rather than answers, the 2026 Preface directs the reader to the companion agentic publication, which is a separate instrument.

Framework · In Force

Rome Call

International (multistakeholder)

Guidance

Surfaced wherever an AI system is designed, produced or used, which is the whole of what the Call addresses — it names no sector, no size and no entity class. It creates no duty; where an organisation is bound to it, it is bound because it signed, or because a contract, a procurement condition or an internal policy adopted it, and that document is the citation.

UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI

United Nations (UNESCO)

Guidance

Surfaced wherever an AI system is designed, developed, deployed or used, in any sector and for any purpose: para. 2 (b) defines AI actors as any natural or legal person involved in any stage of the life cycle, para. 4 offers ethical guidance to all AI actors including the private sector, and the Recommendation carves out no domain. It creates no duty on anyone — Member States apply it voluntarily and AI actors receive guidance. Three rows carry the condition their paragraph turns on: decisions about people (para. 38, decision limb) and the provider role (paras. 51, last sentence, and 120, last sentence).
