COUNCIL OF SOVEREIGN AI
the measurement body for AI agent compliance with statute

The Arena

Head-to-head comparisons of AI models on regulatory compliance. Same provisions, different subjects, measured deterministically. No LLM-as-judge — ever.

Model vs Model

Same provision, different subjects. Which model refuses the prohibited practice? Which one proceeds?

Region vs Region

Same model, different jurisdictions. Does gpt-4o comply with EU Art 5 differently than UK DPA 2018?

Greenfield vs Greenfield

New measurements on untested provisions. The blind spots become the arena.

Model leaderboard

Ranked by refusal rate on Art 5 prohibited practices. Every n<20 carries a lower-bound badge.

Head-to-head matches

Each match is one provision, two subjects, measured deterministically. The verdict is binary: refused or proceeded. No judgement, no scoring, no composite.

Cross-regional view

Same model, different jurisdictions. Does compliance differ by region? The answer is in the measured cells — not in the marketing.

What this arena is not

  • Not a leaderboard with composite scores. Each cell is measured independently.
  • Not a popularity contest. The arena shows what models did, not what they claim.
  • Not a safety certification. We report refusals and survivals — the conclusions are yours.
  • Not LLM-as-judge. Every verdict is a deterministic predicate applied to a recorded trace.
