Subsecretary José Arcajo notes a person loses track beyond four cameras, and eight hours of footage once needed at least a quarter of that to review.
Río Negro relaunches RíoBot as an AI assistant on WhatsApp
Government of Río Negro — Ministry of Modernisation — Río Negro's government has launched RíoBot 2.0, an AI WhatsApp assistant built entirely by provincial technicians, with the new Soy Río Negro app. Text or voice queries in natural language, English and Portuguese included, return official answers on procedures, roads, snow-chain rules, ferries, duty pharmacies, transport timetables, weather, tides and cultural events.

The Dirección Provincial de Innovación Digital will oversee adherence under these government AI guidelines and provide training for personnel.
Honduras launches MARIA chatbot for gender violence victims
Secretaría de Seguridad de Honduras (Security Ministry) — Honduras' Security Ministry unveiled MARIA (Módulo de Asistencia y Respuesta de Información Automatizada), an AI chatbot for gender-based violence support that also serves as a confidential virtual assistant for victims, free for women and girls, 24 hours a day, via WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, no app needed. It privately answers questions on domestic violence, harassment and trafficking and walks victims through filing a complaint. UNDP and USAID helped build it.
SAT launches AI voice recognition for invoice issuance
Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria (SAT) — Dictation replaces typing for Guatemala's smallest businesses under Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria's (SAT) new AI voice recognition for invoice issuance feature in its APP FEL app. This voice-activated electronic invoicing option lets simplified VAT-regime contributors speak billing details aloud, a shift officials expect will lower mistakes and strengthen compliance.

Agencia de Gobierno Electrónico y Sociedad de la Información y del Conocimiento (Agesic) and Comité Estratégico del Sector Público para la Inteligencia Artificial y Datos — Agesic drafted Uruguay's AI governance strategy, the National AI Strategy for 2024–2030, under Article 74 of Law 20,212, and the Strategic Committee for the Public Sector for AI and Data signed off on it. Instead of leaving artificial intelligence use unchecked, the plan builds rules for ethical, safe and accountable systems alongside stronger technical skills and infrastructure. Officials cast this as a path to inclusive growth, sustainable development and better-run public services.
Artificial Intelligence Bill approved in first discussion
Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela — Venezuela's National Assembly unanimously cleared the Artificial Intelligence Bill in a first reading, a Venezuela AI regulation framework spanning 57 articles and four chapters on development, applications and rights safeguards.

Estrategia Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial 2024-2027
Ministry of Science, Innovation, Technology and Telecommunications (MICITT) — The Ministry of Science, Innovation, Technology and Telecommunications (MICITT) launched the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (ENIA), Central America's first AI public policy. Costa Rica AI policy sets seven strategic axes, including ethical AI, research and innovation, talent and skills, smart government, and infrastructure and data, guided by principles of transparency, human dignity, equity, cybersecurity and risk management. The national AI roadmap prioritises 5G rollout and a National Centre of Excellence in AI.
Núcleo de Inteligência Artificial (NIA) for the federal executive
Secretaria de Governo Digital (SGD), Ministério da Gestão e da Inovação (MGI) — Brazil's Secretaria de Governo Digital runs the Núcleo de Inteligência Artificial (NIA) to spread AI adoption in government agencies nationwide. Established by Portaria SGD/MGI nº 6.618 and revised via Portaria SGD/MGI nº 473 of 20 January 2026, it gives ministries shared software, coaching, ethics rules and hands-on backing. This centralises AI governance in government instead of each body building capacity separately.
Circular 2 of 2024 on data processing in AI systems
Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC) — Binding guidelines on personal data processing in AI systems now apply nationwide after Colombia's Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC), acting as data protection authority, issued Circular 2. Firms building or operating systems involving AI data processing must justify each use of personal information against tests of suitability, necessity, reasonableness and proportionality, while embedding privacy safeguards from the design stage and proving accountability through documented measures. The directive shifts responsibility onto controllers rather than regulators to police compliance case by case.
EU AI Act establishes harmonised rules on artificial intelligence
European Parliament and Council of the European Union — Brussels enforces a single artificial intelligence rulebook, the EU AI Act, now binding across the European Union — the world's first such comprehensive law, in force since 1 August 2024. Martinique falls under its scope automatically, as an outermost region of a member state, alongside every other EU territory. Instead of one uniform standard, the text sorts systems into four bands — unacceptable, high, limited and minimal risk — fixing separate duties on providers and deployers depending on where a tool lands. This tiered method to AI governance ties compliance burden to potential harm rather than treating every deployment alike.
Algorithmic transparency recommendations for automated decision systems
Council for Transparency (Consejo para la Transparencia) — Chile's Council for Transparency (CPLT) issued voluntary guidance on algorithmic transparency in automated decision-making, targeting agencies that run automatic or semi-automatic decision tools, through Resolución Exenta N° 372 on 30 August. A follow-up covering automated decision systems transparency arrived 14 July 2025 to guide implementation.
Recommendations on algorithmic transparency for public sector

The document hands state bodies practical tools for explaining automated decisions, seeking to grow citizen confidence while meeting current access-to-information and disclosure law covering algorithms that public agencies run. This effort pushes AI transparency in government further by tying ethical, accountable system use to legal compliance obligations already in force.
Ley Orgánica de Regulación y Promoción de la Inteligencia Artificial en Ecuador
Asamblea Nacional — Ecuador's National Assembly is reviewing the Proyecto de Ley Orgánica de Regulación y Promoción de la Inteligencia Artificial en Ecuador, filed by legislator Patricia Núñez under process 450889, which would classify systems by four risk tiers modelled on the EU, ban social scoring and subconscious manipulation, and create an AI Ethics Committee for AI regulation in Ecuador. A risk-tiered oversight structure like this remains stuck in committee as of February 2026, with no first-debate report issued.
Règlement (UE) 2024/1689 sur l'intelligence artificielle
Parlement européen et Conseil de l'Union européenne — This AI regulation, Regulation 2024/1689, better known as the EU AI Act, now gives Brussels a single rulebook for building, selling and running artificial intelligence systems across the bloc. Machines get sorted into bands stretching from negligible danger up to outright prohibition, while firms that supply or operate them answer to watchdogs appointed in each nation for market oversight. Because it binds every member state automatically, French Guiana shares in that AI governance regime simply by belonging to the outermost tier of the European Union.
Strategy for the Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence in Cuba
Council of Ministers of the Republic of Cuba and Ministry of Communications (MINCOM) — Six pillars frame the Estrategia para el Desarrollo y Uso de la Inteligencia Artificial, folded by Cuba's Council of Ministers into the wider Política de Transformación Digital under the Ministry of Communications: ethics and law, workforce skills, applications, government use, research, and public messaging.
