AI regulation in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (2026)

As of May 2026, SVG has not enacted any AI-specific statute, published a national AI strategy, or tabled an AI bill. The AI Policy Portal confirms no dedicated AI governance instrument exists at the national level.

The Data Protection Act 2021 is the primary legislation touching AI-adjacent matters, establishing data-processing principles, individual rights (access, rectification, erasure), and the office of Data Protection Commissioner — but it is not AI-specific.

SVG's broader ICT framework includes the Electronic Transactions Act and the Cybercrime Act (2016, aligned with the Budapest Convention), which provide partial guardrails for digital systems but contain no AI-specific provisions.

SVG participates in the World Bank-supported Caribbean Digital Transformation Program, which funds public-sector digitisation, cybersecurity capacity, and skills development, but does not constitute an AI regulatory framework.

The Caribbean Telecommunications Union launched a Caribbean AI Task Force in July 2025; its December 2025 Interim Report calls for a harmonised, CARICOM-wide AI governance framework. SVG is a CTU member but the recommendations are not yet adopted or transposed into national law.

SVG falls within the scope of the UNESCO Caribbean AI Policy Roadmap (2022) and the associated Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, providing soft normative guidance, but these are non-binding international instruments, not domestic law.
