Latin America has seen several efforts to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Countries are increasingly enacting bills, policies and strategies, mainly motivated by European regulation. There is a pressing demand for these regulatory attempts to respect international human rights standards.
This comparative analysis explores the different AI regulations and regulatory strategies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay, and contrasts them with those in the European Union and the United States, with the aim of identifying best practices and guiding principles.
TrustLaw, the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s global pro bono service, connected Access Now with law firms based in these countries to develop legal research on these legal frameworks.
We are thankful for the valuable contributions made by ECIJA Legal; Bruchou & Funes de Rioja; Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados; Cariola Diez Perez-Cotapos & Cia. Ltda.; Baker & McKenzie Colombia; Estudio Osterling S. Civil de R.L.; and Steptoe and Johnson LLP.
The aim of this research is to inform policy makers of the regulatory trends in the region as well as to identify best practices, making recommendations towards a human rights-based approach to AI.
