AI regulation in Greenland (2026)

Greenland is not in the EU or EEA (it left the EEC in 1985 and is an Overseas Country and Territory), so EU Regulation 2024/1689 (the AI Act) does not extend to it.

Denmark's Act on Supplementary Provisions to the AI Regulation (Law No. 467 of 14 May 2025), in force from 2 August 2025, contains a territorial-scope provision that expressly does not apply to Greenland or the Faroe Islands.

There is no enacted or formally proposed AI-specific statute, licensing regime, or AI authority in Greenland; the autonomous government (Naalakkersuisut) has not issued a standalone AI framework.

The National Digitalisation Strategy 2023-2026 from Naalakkersuisut covers digital foundations, cyber security, data, public-service portals and digital inclusion to support 'responsible' digitalisation, but it is not an AI regulation and sets no binding AI rules.

GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act do not apply in Greenland; Greenland has its own GDPR-equivalent data-protection decree, with oversight by the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet). This governs personal data generally, not AI as a technology.

Interest in hydropower-fueled AI data-centre/compute infrastructure is growing, but this is economic/strategic activity rather than a regulatory framework, and no AI governance rules have followed from it.
