Colombia has followed jurisdictions such as its neighbour Chile and the EU in implementing a new policy framework for artificial intelligence (AI).
The policy, which takes effect on June 1, 2025, outlines 106 specific actions across six pillars, including AI governance, digital infrastructure, research and innovation, workforce development and risk management.
It aims to bolster Colombia’s AI capabilities while addressing ethical concerns and cybersecurity risks.
The government will track progress through semi-annual reports, with the policy scheduled to run until December 2030.
Officials say this initiative will position Colombia as a leader in responsible AI development in Latin America.
“This is a historic moment for the technological development of the country, which will be able to continue betting on AI as an engine of growth and generation of well-being for Colombians,” said Belfor Fabio García, Colombia’s ICT minister.
