Iceland published its AI Action Plan 2024-2026 in July 2025, containing 25 measures across five areas: AI for society, competitiveness, education, public administration, and healthcare. The education pillar integrates AI literacy across primary schools to universities, expands vocational training and lifelong learning, and addresses skills gaps in AI engineering, data science, and ethics.
Who it affects: Students at all education levels, vocational learners, civil servants, healthcare workers, and businesses across Iceland.
What is notably missing: The Action Plan is a government strategic document; binding curriculum mandates and employer obligations are not separately enacted as legislation. Civil servant training measures are listed as actions to be implemented rather than legally enforceable obligations. No standalone enforcement mechanism for AI literacy is documented.
