AI regulation in Andorra: laws & policy (2026)

AI in Andorra: guidelines only.

Andorra has no dedicated domestic AI law or sectoral AI regulation. Its primary operative instrument is a non-binding Code of Ethics for AI adopted by the government in February 2024, providing voluntary principles for the public sector, private sector, and citizens. Andorra also signed the Council of Europe Framework Convention on AI on 5 September 2024, the first international legally binding AI treaty, though ratification and domestic implementation have not yet been confirmed.

Key points: artificial intelligence in Andorra

  1. Code of Ethics for AI

    Adopted by the Government of Andorra in February 2024, this non-binding document provides guidelines and recommendations on trustworthy AI deployment for the public sector, private sector, and general public, explicitly aligned with UNESCO's 2021 AI Ethics Recommendation, OECD AI Principles, and Council of Europe standards.

  2. CoE Framework Convention (signed)

    Andorra signed the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law on 5 September 2024 in Vilnius, the first internationally legally binding AI treaty, covering transparency, accountability, and non-discrimination across the AI lifecycle. Signing is a precursor to ratification; no domestic implementing legislation has been identified as of May 2026.

  3. Digital Transformation Programme

    The PdTDA 2024-2027 includes 131 digital initiatives across four strategic axes, one of which is safeguarding citizens' digital rights. The Code of Ethics for AI is explicitly anchored to this programme. The government has committed to deploying an AI tool across all public administration employees by 2027 to automate repetitive tasks and draft administrative documents.

  4. No domestic AI law or proposal

    As of May 2026, no dedicated domestic AI statute, sectoral AI regulation, or formally tabled draft law before the Consell General (parliament) has been identified. The Code of Ethics remains the sole operative domestic instrument governing AI use in Andorra.

  5. EU AI Act indirect exposure

    Andorra is not an EU member state and the EU AI Act does not apply directly, but Andorran entities providing AI-based services to EU citizens or operating within the EU single market fall within the Act's extraterritorial scope, creating a de facto compliance incentive for the private sector.
