American Samoa

Summary

American Samoa has enacted no AI-specific legislation as of mid-2026. The American Samoa Fono (legislature) has not introduced any bills addressing artificial intelligence, automated decision-making, chatbot disclosure, or training-data rights. As an unincorporated United States territory, American Samoa is subject to applicable federal law, including Federal Trade Commission Act § 5, which the FTC applies to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce — providing a baseline backstop against, for example, AI chatbots or agents that misrepresent themselves as human in commercial transactions. At the territorial level, the American Samoa Consumer Protection Act (American Samoa Code Annotated Title 27, Chapter 04) establishes a Bureau of Consumer Protection within the Department of Legal Affairs empowered to investigate and enjoin unfair or deceptive business practices; while not AI-specific, this statute is the primary territorial-law mechanism that could be applied to deceptive AI-mediated conduct. No AI-specific guidance, executive orders, or administrative rules have been publicly issued by the American Samoa Government as of this date.
