Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the differences and similarities in the characteristics of national artificial intelligence (AI) strategies in the public sector of different Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay. The methodological and analytical strategy consists in showing and analyzing their characteristics based on the following categories of analysis: objectives, principles, pillars/measures and vision/goals. The analysis examines the ethics and human rights dimensions. From the research, it could be inferred and concluded that the countries’ efforts to implement AI in the public sector are at an emerging stage and are achieving significant progress. In addition, the strategies have similarities in terms of the ethical and human rights approaches while their differences are conditioned by the political-administrative and technological approaches to which they are subject.
