The regulation is local, even when the AI is global.
The EU AI Act applies extraterritorially — an Australian company with EU customers is in scope. Australia's Privacy Act applies to organisations wherever their data flows. Singapore's MAS expects APAC financial institutions to follow its AI governance principles. Understanding your regulatory exposure means knowing every jurisdiction where your AI has effect, not just where you are incorporated.
