AI regulation in Honduras (2026)
Honduras shaded by its artificial intelligence status
As of May 2026, Honduras has enacted no legislation, regulations, or formal national strategy specifically governing artificial intelligence. The National Digital Government Plan 2023–2026 acknowledges AI as a strategic challenge but does not constitute an AI governance framework. Regional legal experts confirmed in February 2026 that Honduras—alongside Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua—has produced no regulatory material on AI.
Key points
Honduras has not enacted any standalone law or regulation specifically addressing artificial intelligence, and no agency has been formally designated to regulate AI systems.
As of February 2026, Honduras has not introduced or published any draft bill or legislative proposal specifically targeting artificial intelligence regulation, unlike regional peers such as Panama.
The National Digital Government Plan 2023–2026, published by DIGER, references AI as a global competitiveness challenge and includes digital transformation targets, but establishes no AI governance rules, principles, or oversight body.
A Law for the Protection of Confidential Personal Data has been under discussion in the Honduran Congress; if enacted it would apply incidentally to AI applications processing personal data, but does not address AI directly.
In March 2024, Honduras joined the LATAM 4.0 initiative to develop AI workforce capacity and establish AI hubs, including training 500 young nationals in AI skills; this is a development programme, not a regulatory instrument.
CONATEL (national telecoms regulator) announced a cybersecurity project with the International Telecommunication Union specifically to address AI-related risks, signalling institutional awareness but not constituting AI-specific regulation.
