National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024–2030

Summary

Uruguay's national AI strategy for 2024-2030 seeks to use AI for sustainable development and inclusive growth through its ethical, responsible, safe, critical, creative and pro-innovation development and use. Its governance axis calls for risk-based regulatory frameworks, a national analysis of AI uses unacceptable for their impact on rights with possible prohibitions or moratoria, instruments to identify and mitigate risks to human rights, transparency, accountability and audit frameworks, AI security risk assessment and regulatory sandboxes. Its other axes cover capacities (infrastructure, data, cybersecurity, talent) and sustainable development, including AI in public administration.
