Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the Observatory
The Atlas AI Governance Observatory is an independent intelligence platform run by Atlas AI Institute that monitors and compares AI governance across 75 countries. It documents national AI strategies, legislation, regulatory frameworks, and responsible AI initiatives, with dedicated depth on Bangladesh, South Asia, and the Global South.
The Observatory provides country profiles, a policy tracker, a 14-framework governance library, AI readiness assessments, SWOT reports for 75 countries, governance scorecards, a policy timeline, and a research explorer of Observatory publications.
Governments, researchers, universities, international organizations, think tanks, civil society, media, and the private sector use the Observatory as a shared, evidence-based reference point on AI governance.
The Observatory is independent, uses one consistent comparative framework across all 75 countries, publishes its methodology, and centers Bangladesh, South Asia, and the Global South rather than treating them as a footnote to Western and East Asian coverage.
Each country analysis moves through a six-stage pipeline: policy monitoring, evidence collection from primary government sources, comparative analysis, framework mapping against the 14 governance frameworks, research publication, and decision-support packaging for policymakers.
Atlas AI Institute was founded by Nafiul Ahmad Rafi. The Atlas AI Governance Observatory is one of the Institute's flagship research initiatives, focused on AI policy intelligence for Bangladesh, South Asia, and the Global South.
Collaborate With the Observatory
Governments, universities, think tanks, international organizations, researchers, civil society, and development partners can work with the Observatory to co-develop country research, contribute policy data, or commission comparative analysis for a specific region.
Strengthening AI Governance Through Evidence
Atlas AI Governance Observatory transforms policy research into practical governance intelligence that supports responsible AI, effective regulation, and informed decision-making across Bangladesh, South Asia, and the Global South.
