Northern Mariana Islands

Summary

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) has enacted no AI-behavior-specific law as of mid-2026. The Commonwealth Legislature has not introduced or passed any legislation addressing chatbot disclosure, AI-generated content labeling, training-data rules, automated decision-making accountability, or AI agents acting on users' behalf. The governing backstop for deceptive AI practices in the private sector is the CNMI Consumer Protection Act (4 CMC §§ 5101 et seq.), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts and practices in trade or commerce; passing off an AI system as a human in a commercial interaction would fall within its scope, as would materially false representations about the automated nature of a product or service. Federal law also applies by virtue of the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth in Political Union with the United States: the Federal Trade Commission Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. § 45) prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices runs in the CNMI, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030) governs unauthorized access to computer systems. No territory-level AI-use executive orders or administrative regulations have been publicly issued.
