Questions

Does Fiji have an AI law?

No. As at 18 October 2026 Fiji has no AI-specific law. The National Digital Strategy 2025-2030 commits the Government to develop a National AI Framework and legal frameworks for emerging technologies such as AI.

Does Fiji have a data protection law?

Not a general one. Section 24 of the 2013 Constitution protects the confidentiality of personal information and communications. Cabinet has endorsed a National Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy as the foundation for future legislation.

Does the Reserve Bank of Fiji regulate AI?

Not with AI-specific rules. Its supervision policies, including PSPS 2 on cybersecurity risk, apply to AI systems and AI vendors in the same way as to other technology used by banks, insurers and other supervised entities.

Is Fiji developing AI standards?

Yes. In October 2026 the Government said Fiji is one of six Pacific Island countries in an Australian-funded project on responsible AI adoption, led by Standards Australia with CSIRO, implemented locally with the Digital Government Transformation Office.
