LOOP: Antigua and Barbuda’s government is contemplating mirroring Europe’s stance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) legislation. Officials are examining the European Parliament’s regulations governing AI use.
In March, the European Parliament passed pioneering legislation, the EU AI Act, marking a significant milestone in regulating AI technologies, particularly those driving tech investments.
Initially introduced in 2021, the EU AI Act categorizes AI technologies based on risk levels, ranging from “unacceptable” (resulting in outright bans) to high, medium, and low hazards.

Cabinet spokesperson Lionel Hurst, speaking at a press briefing, expressed the government’s appreciation for the EU’s comprehensive approach, stating that it provides a solid foundation for Antigua and Barbuda’s own regulatory efforts.
“Since they are the very first to have a comprehensive law governing artificial intelligence and its uses, that it would be very helpful to Antigua and Barbuda that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel all over again. We can begin at least from that vantage point of having had the European Parliament pass into law,” he stated
In addition to studying the EU’s regulations, the government intends to assess approaches taken by other nations in regulating AI.

“I believe that there might be some assistance coming from multilateral institutions, especially so where they want to ensure that there’s a kind of a uniformity throughout the world that will not result in criminal activity emanating from any one place on account of the absence of laws governing artificial intelligence and its uses,” Hurst added.
Antigua and Barbuda aims to position itself at the forefront of AI regulation to address emerging challenges swiftly and effectively.
