What this site is for
NeuralWatch is an independent watchdog covering AI policy, regulation, and accountability.
NeuralWatch is a policy and accountability site. We cover AI regulation and AI governance from outside the industry, not from inside it.
What we cover:
- The EU AI Act — what’s actually enforceable, what’s symbolic, where the lobbying went
- NIST AI RMF and adjacent US frameworks — adoption reality vs adoption rhetoric
- State-level AI laws — Colorado, California, New York, Texas, and the patchwork forming
- Enforcement actions — FTC, DOJ, state AGs, and how they’re treating AI claims, deceptive design, and discriminatory outcomes
- The gap between corporate AI principles and corporate AI behavior — what companies say in their responsible-AI docs vs what they ship
What we don’t do:
- Industry-funded “AI ethics” content
- Hot takes without primary source citations
- Treating regulator press releases as analysis
Every claim links to a primary source. Court filings, regulatory text, enforcement orders, official transcripts. If a story doesn’t have one, we don’t run it.
Pseudonymous editorial. Tips with primary documentation to the editor.
Start here: the EU AI Act risk tiers and compliance deadlines, NIST AI RMF adoption — state of play 2026, or the 2026 state AI law patchwork.
