It is reported that the Mexican Senate has initiated the Artificial Intelligence Law, proposing the establishment of a National AI Authority, a National Fund for AI Development, and a classification of infractions as “minor, serious, and very serious,” with potential imprisonment for serious offenses. This legislation aims to protect against digital gender-based violence, particularly targeting harmful practices such as the creation and dissemination of non-consensual deepfakes and other forms of digital violence against women and girls. The law defines “very serious offenses” to include the use of AI for illicit manipulation, mass surveillance without legal basis, and the deployment of lethal autonomous systems without human oversight. It also outlines serious and minor infractions related to compliance with algorithmic assessments and technical documentation. The bill emphasizes a risk-based approach to AI regulation, categorizing systems based on their impact on human rights and public safety, and mandates reinforced obligations for high-risk systems while allowing limited-use systems to adhere to basic security principles.
