Push x Bite: the AI policy navigator
A single-page app that compares AI policy across 16 jurisdictions using the push and bite framework.
- Push is the pressure on a government to act. Eight factors are rated 0 to 3: four on the promotion side (rivalry, sovereignty, growth, industry) and four on the protection side (rights, harm, labour, control).
- Bite is what the policy does. Constraining bite has six components and enabling bite has four.
- Each has a direction and a strength, which gives two linked 3 x 3 charts.
Scores are judgements made from the research in this repo. They are not measurements, and they cover government intent only. The reference date is 3 October 2026, and the Australia content was updated on 9 October 2026.
