AI regulation in Comoros (2026)

Comoros has enacted no law, decree, or regulation that specifically addresses artificial intelligence development, deployment, or governance. The country's data-protection law dates to 1980 and pre-dates modern AI concerns.

Adopted in 2019, this strategy targets digitisation of public services, cybersecurity, and ICT-driven growth (raising ICT to 5% of GDP by 2028), but contains no AI-governance provisions or AI-specific objectives.

ANRTIC (Autorité Nationale de Régulation des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication), created by Decree 065/2009, regulates the telecoms and ICT sector — spectrum, tariffs, quality of service — but has no AI-specific mandate.

In October 2024 the African Development Bank approved €9.51 million to support Comoros' digital transformation, covering a new Tier-III data centre, a secondary data centre, and establishment of a National Authority for Protection of Personal Data and Access to Information. No AI governance component is included.

As an African Union member state, Comoros is covered by the Continental AI Strategy adopted by the AU Executive Council in July 2024. Phase I (2025–2026) calls on member states to develop national AI strategies and governance frameworks, but Comoros had not published such a strategy as of May 2026.

Comoros scores 23.75 on AI readiness indices, reflecting limited infrastructure, capacity, and institutional capability to implement or enforce AI-specific rules in the near term, even as foundational digital investments proceed.
