Welcome to AI Law. Decoded.

There was a day — not so long ago — when AI regulation wasn’t your problem.

What a sweet memory.

It started so subtly. Maybe your boss forwarded you an article about the EU AI Act. Maybe a client asked a question you couldn’t fully answer. Maybe you’re the in-house lawyer whose portfolio just quietly doubled. Maybe you’re the product manager whose latest feature now falls under regulation nobody on the team has read. Maybe you’re the one person at your startup who got handed “the AI thing” because you seemed least busy.

However it happened — it’s on your plate now. And it’s not going away.

The EU AI Act was just the first big wave. Dozens of countries are writing their own AI rules — the US, Singapore, Japan, India, and the list keeps growing. AI regulation isn't a one-time event. It's a permanent new area of law. And it gets bigger over time, not smaller.

That's what I work on.

Hi, I'm Silvia Stepitova.

AI regulatory lawyer. I led an AI project at Amazon that got featured in the Wall Street Journal.

I’ve been on both sides. At Amazon, I worked with FinOps to build an AI solution that accelerated internal processes. I had to learn the tech — how the systems work, what the engineers actually build, what matters in production versus what only matters on paper. Now I’m on the other side — I read the regulation and make sure my company complies.

Most lawyers writing about AI regulation have never built anything. Most people building AI have never read the regulation. I’ve done both — and learning to speak “engineer” made translating the law a lot easier.

What you get

Every article takes one topic and goes deep.

The EU AI Act is the anchor. When other regulations intersect — a new US executive order, UK guidance, something from Singapore that changes the calculus — I cover that too. But the foundation is the EU AI Act, because that’s where the obligations are landing first and landing hardest.

What the regulation says — the actual text, summarized precisely. What it means in practice — for your product, your team, your role. Who it affects. What the deadlines are. And the detail the headlines are missing — the edge case, the buried provision, the thing on page 47 that will matter more than the summary.

Every article leaves you knowing what to do — not just what the regulation says.

Not a news roundup. Not a law firm alert designed to scare you into calling them.

Just clarity. One email at a time.

Why subscribe?

You can keep piecing it together yourself — LinkedIn posts, 200-page guidance documents, law firm newsletters that exist to sell you something, consultants who discovered AI regulation six months ago.

Or you can get one email that tells you what changed, what it means, and what to do about it — written by someone who’s read the regulation, built the tech, and does the compliance work every day.

Free subscribers get every issue.

I read the regulation. I tell you what matters.

That’s the deal.
