Mexico issues National Declaration on Ethical AI

On January 29, 2026, Mexico published a National Declaration on Ethical AI as a roadmap for public policy grounded in the Chapultepec Principles, outlining ten core commitments. These include that AI should expand rights rather than restrict them; that decisions supported by AI must carry clear human responsibility; and that governance of AI should be collective, culturally sensitive, and serve national education and public value objectives. The declaration does not establish a named regulatory body with enforcement powers — the proposed National Commission for Artificial Intelligence (CONAIA) remains a Senate bill under discussion — but it represents the highest-level official commitment by the Mexican government to ethical AI governance to date. It does not create funded AI literacy resources for the general population.

Scoring note: Dimension 10 remains 0 — the declaration articulates principles but does not establish a body with authority to set rules, conduct oversight, or enforce compliance. Dimension 13 remains 1 — the declaration references education and public value but does not establish or fund new public AI literacy resources.
