AI Regulation in Nepal

AI Regulation in Nepal

Navigating the Future of Intelligent Technology

As Artificial Intelligence transforms industries, the legal landscape in Nepal is rapidly adapting. With the government’s approval of the National AI Policy 2082 (2025), Nepal has established a strategic roadmap for ethical, transparent, and human-centric AI development. While a standalone AI Act is still on the horizon, AI deployment in Nepal is currently governed by a matrix of existing frameworks, including the Electronic Transactions Act (2063), the Privacy Act (2075), and intellectual property laws.

At Vidhijnya Lawyers, we help tech companies, startups, and enterprises innovate safely within these evolving boundaries.
