Iceland AI Report Sets Out 69 Proposals for Schools, Language and Government
A government-appointed expert group has delivered 69 proposals for Iceland’s approach to artificial intelligence, organised across ten policy areas.
Its three headline priorities are AI education and skills, Icelandic-language technology developed with rights holders, and coordinated implementation across government. The work follows public concern about AI risks and opportunities documented in an earlier national survey.
Sixty-Nine Proposals Map Iceland’s Next Steps on Artificial Intelligence- The report contains 69 proposals across ten policy areas.
- Priorities include schools, Icelandic-language AI and public-sector implementation.
- The government approved a ministerial steering group and plans an updated action plan by year-end.
The group recommends a national framework for AI in schools and measuring the technology’s effect on the labour market. Iceland has already begun testing AI in classrooms, but the new report calls for a broader national approach.
For Icelandic-language AI, the report proposes cooperation with rights holders, a shared training recipe and benchmarks for Icelandic language models. Other recommendations cover copyright, computing capacity, data centres, energy, regulation and “AI sovereignty.”
The public-sector proposals include consolidating state IT operations and improving government data policy. Ministers approved an inter-ministerial steering group on Friday, but the remaining recommendations still require review and implementation decisions.
The report will feed into an updated AI and language-technology action plan expected by the end of the year. It also arrives as Iceland develops sector-specific AI guidance for healthcare.
