summary
Four-country comparison: Mexico records no national AI strategy, over 31 congressional initiatives, government use of facial recognition and biometric systems that raise human rights alarms, and an open data portal with 200+ datasets but ~20% without internet. Colombia deploys models in tax and prosecutions, employs ~370,000 in software/AI and saw the Prisma prioritization system fail constitutional challenge. Brazil pairs a 2021 strategy with Bill 233/2023, an AI governance plan and sandboxes for copyright that remain unresolved. Chile has a 2021 AI roadmap but lacks modern data protection, complicating enforcement.
