AI governance for the US patchwork.
Sentinel for US enterprises navigating a fragmented but real landscape — Texas TRAIGA, NYC LL 144, California SB 53/942/AB 2013, NIST AI RMF — plus active federal preemption efforts under EO 14179 and the Dec 11, 2025 executive order.
The US doesn't have one AI law. It has dozens — and federal preemption is being actively pursued.
Texas TRAIGA (effective Jan 1, 2026), NYC LL 144 (in force since Jul 2023), California SB 53 (Sept 2025), California AB 2013 (Sept 2024), and California SB 942 (effective Aug 2, 2026) all impose real obligations. The federal TAKE IT DOWN Act (May 2025) lands platform compliance in May 2026. EO 14179 + America's AI Action Plan (July 2025) + the Dec 11, 2025 federal-preemption EO are actively trying to override state laws. NIST AI RMF is under review.
Every framework USA cares about — encoded as data, cross-mapped on day one.
The Sentinel Framework Engine ships with these frameworks as machine-readable data, with explicit cross-maps. When you assess a use case, the workpaper, the review pack, and the auditor evidence trail are generated from this library — not authored from scratch.
