AI regulation status from the Global AI Regulation Tracker.
Regulation Status

- Iceland's approach rests on policy instruments rather than binding law, including a national Artificial Intelligence Policy (2021) focused on an ethical basis for AI and an AI Action Plan 2024-2026 setting out 25 actions across five themes, with an English version of an AI Action Plan released in 2025.
- Iceland participates in Nordic cooperation, joining a 2024 Nordic data protection authorities' declaration on children's data and AI under the GDPR and the Nordic Council of Ministers' funding for a Nordic-Baltic AI Center (2025).
