AI regulation in Micronesia (2026)
Micronesia shaded by its artificial intelligence status
The Federated States of Micronesia has not enacted any legislation, issued any guidelines, or published any national strategy specifically governing artificial intelligence as of May 2026. The country is still in the early stages of building foundational digital legal infrastructure — including a Cybersecurity Act, Personal Data Protection Act, and Cybercrime Act — none of which have been enacted. AI was referenced at the FSM Cybersecurity Symposium (October 2025) solely in the context of awareness and threat-landscape discussions, not regulatory action.
Key points
FSM has no enacted AI law, proposed AI bill, or published national AI strategy. It does not appear in the OECD.AI live repository of national AI policy initiatives, which tracks over 70 countries.
As of 2025, FSM lacks a Cybercrime Act, a Personal Data Protection Act, and a Cybersecurity Act — all considered preconditions for a viable AI governance framework. Their establishment was discussed but not achieved at the FSM Cybersecurity Symposium in October 2025.
The FSM Cybersecurity Roadmap, published December 2021, outlines a six-year strategic framework for cybersecurity governance, incident response (FSM-CERT), and alignment with international standards (Budapest Convention). It does not address AI regulation.
UNDP-supported plans target 2026 for a legal and regulatory framework for Digital Government covering data security, privacy, transparency, and non-discrimination — but these are aspirational and do not include AI-specific provisions.
At the October 2025 FSM Cybersecurity Symposium, AI was mentioned alongside cryptocurrency as an area requiring public digital-safety awareness — not as a domain subject to regulatory action or policy development.
The Digital FSM Project (World Bank, 2020–2026) is building internet connectivity infrastructure, but has no AI governance component; its scope is physical and network-layer digital access.
