This report presents a fundamentally optimistic view that is shared across UNESCO: that ethical governance and responsible regulation of AI are fully consistent with innovation and economic growth, and are essential to ensure a technology ecosystem that benefits the public good. With the data from the RAM and the report, Mexico has a clear roadmap to achieve this.

For this report for Mexico, the Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) is applied through the collaborative effort between UNESCO and the National Alliance for Artificial Intelligence (ANIA), with the generous participation of more than 250 individuals and organizations who contributed their experience and expertise on a wide variety of related topics. in very different ways, with the development and uses of artificial intelligence (AI).An open, plural and transparent call was made to form discussion tables with experts in the matters contemplated by the RAM. There were 18 multi-stakeholder tables organized into 6 thematic axes that included legislators, representatives of the federal and state governments, autonomous bodies, academia, experts, companies and business associations, as well as civil society organizations.This report is the result of the technical support that ANIA requested from UNESCO as of June 2023 to carry out a diagnosis of the development of AI in Mexico in order to identify the needs in terms of policies, regulation and ethical standards, as well as the design of AI governance schemes in the country. based on UNESCO's "Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence".Based on this diagnosis, understanding Mexico's strengths and challenges in AI, a list of policy recommendations was integrated from which four fundamental components emerge: 1) the development of a functional map of the ecosystem in which artificial intelligence lives and has an impact; 2) the integration of a legal framework for AI that starts from the consideration of existing applicable standards, to adapt or create what is necessary, innovating in regulatory forms; 3) create the institutional and governance design of AI that responds to the objectives and needs of public policies and regulation in this area and that involves different levels of government, academia, industry, and civil society in its decisions; and 4) issue the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, considering cybersecurity, an inclusive and human-centric ethical approach, taking into account its environmental sustainability, the attention to new educational and labor demands, as well as the need to promote infrastructure.
