Artificial Intelligence law at Pitcairn Islands (BOT)
As of May 2025, the Pitcairn Islands, a British Overseas Territory, do not have specific legislation or regulations governing artificial intelligence (AI). The territory's legal framework comprises ordinances enacted by the Governor, United Kingdom legislation extended to Pitcairn, and applicable common law principles. While there are ordinances addressing data protection, cybersecurity, and electronic transactions, none explicitly pertain to AI .(Wikipedia, government.pn, Lawzana)
The Pitcairn Islands' legal system is influenced by the United Kingdom's legal framework, and any significant developments in AI regulation would likely require the extension of UK or international laws to the territory. Currently, there is no indication that AI-specific legislation is being considered or developed for the Pitcairn Islands.
Given the global nature of AI development and its potential implications, it is advisable for stakeholders in the Pitcairn Islands to stay informed about international AI regulations and best practices. Engaging with regional initiatives and discussions on AI governance may also provide valuable insights and guidance.
