With AI technologies advancing rapidly and becoming increasingly embedded in both public and private sectors, it is crucial that data governance frameworks keep pace to ensure ethical, equitable, and human rights–centered AI deployment.
The research focuses on six pilot jurisdictions – Chile, Mexico, Kenya, Mauritius, the Philippines, and Taiwan – to explore how their national strategies, laws, and policies around AI align with data regulations and international ethical principles. It also includes common themes across jurisdictions, such as the promotion of transparency, accountability, and non-discrimination.
Through TrustLaw, in a partnership with the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, we connected Civic House, and its resident organization Open Data Charter, with legal experts at Basham Ringe & Correa S.C. in Mexico; ObradorDigital SpA in Chile; Prof. Albert Mumma & Company Advocate in Kenya; SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan in the Philippines; Bowmans in Muritius; and Lee and Li, Attorneysat-Law in Taiwan to develop this report.
