These bills have been presented in three specific countries: Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic, which are still under discussion in their respective legislatures. A model law proposed by the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament also promotes AI regulation. Yet, progress is slow and data protection laws are also outdated to deal with the new challenges of AI.
