What it is
A report, not software. When an AI product is used in several countries, each one may have its own rules on AI, privacy, moving data across borders, automated decisions and contracts. This report sets out, for your product and your countries, where those rules differ and what each country expects you to have in place.
When to use it
Before you launch an AI product or feature in a new country, or when you are deciding which countries to launch in. Also when you are an AI business and customers or investors are asking how your product meets the rules abroad.
How to use it
Tell us in your own words what the system does, what data it uses, who it affects and where it will be used. We confirm what is included and a fixed fee in writing. You then receive the report in your WLA account.
What you gain
You see the differences between countries before you commit to a launch plan. You know what documents and safeguards each market expects, you avoid expensive redesign after launch, and you can brief your lawyers precisely.
THE SITUATIONA UK company has built a tool that ranks job applicants. It wants to sell it to employers in Germany, India and Brazil.
WITHOUT THE REPORTThe company launches with one global set-up. Later it learns that one country restricts moving applicants' data abroad, another treats decisions about job applicants differently, and each wants different paperwork. The product has to be redesigned after launch.
WITH THE REPORTOne document sets out, for each country, the rules that touch this use, the data and decision points that matter, and the documents each market expects. It shows where the countries diverge, so the company can design once, correctly.
