North Macedonia is currently lagging in AI-specific regulations compared to its neighbors, despite efforts initiated by the Macedonian Fund for Innovation and Technology Development (FITD) to create a National Strategy for AI. Challenges such as insufficient data and human resources have hindered progress, but there is strong support from organizations like the World Bank and UNDP to align with EU standards.
