There is no single private-sector AI switch
Existing privacy, consumer, corporations, workplace, safety, anti-discrimination and sector laws continue to apply where relevant. Government policy and voluntary guidance can also be important, but they do not all have the same legal status.
Show the status
A credible governance framework should distinguish current law, regulator guidance, government policy that applies only to in-scope entities, voluntary guidance, standards and customer policy.
Version the content
Framework packs should carry versions and effective dates. When a source changes, historical assessments should stay pinned to their original version and affected live records should receive explicit recheck work.
Where Swell fits: the product turns these governance principles into a maintained register, explainable triage, evidence, approvals, review and board reporting. It does not replace legal, privacy, security or professional judgement.
