AI regulation in Guinea (2026)

Guinea's Ministry of ICT validated a national AI roadmap covering 2026–2035 in December 2025. It was built on findings from the October 2025 AILA national workshop and sets strategic priorities for ethical, inclusive, and data-driven AI development.

A national AI Landscape Assessment workshop was held October 14–17, 2025, organized by MPTEN with UNDP support, bringing together government, private sector, universities, and civil society to assess AI readiness and governance gaps.

The DouIA2 initiative positions AI and data as foundational development tools, targeting innovation, improved governance, and evidence-based policymaking. It represents the second phase of Guinea's domestic AI agenda with a renewed focus on translating strategy into concrete projects.

Smart Africa and Guinea launched a Digital Summit in November 2025 focused on AI innovation, signalling regional integration of Guinea's AI agenda within the broader Smart Africa Alliance framework.

Workshop recommendations explicitly call for creation of a clear legal and regulatory AI framework founded on transparency, accountability, inclusion, and digital sovereignty — confirming that no binding AI-specific law exists as of May 2026.

Guinea's only relevant enacted legislation is Law No. L/2016/037/AN (July 2016) on Cybersecurity and Protection of Personal Data. It is not AI-specific and its dedicated enforcement authority (CNIL) remains incompletely established.
