fAIr LAC

Colombia

The Presidency of the Republic of Colombia, an entity that has led the AI agenda in the country, supports fAIr LAC Colombia.

What is the fAIr LAC Colombia project?

fAIr LAC Colombia aims to produce a high impact on the generation of public policies and digital transformation projects in the country’s public entities that use AI systems. It also seeks to promote access and dissemination of knowledge that can impact the AI implementation and rollout process in the country and the region.

Our framework: Hub objectives

1. Support the implementation of the Colombian AI Ethical Framework and the ethical standards for using Artificial intelligence.

2. Technically assist Artificial intelligence projects and solutions implemented by public entities in the country to mitigate potential ethical risks.

3. Promote the responsible adoption of Artificial intelligence in the private sector, with specific emphasis on the entrepreneurial sector.

4. Assist in the definition of governance of the country’s AI policy, helping to promote dialogue between diverse sectors and supporting essential projects such as Colombia’s AI Expert Mission.

We work in four dimensions:

1. National Policy for Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence (Conpes 3975)

Conpes 3975 of 2019 reflects Colombia’s AI Strategy. The Hub seeks to publicize the policy strategies and to contribute to implementing key initiatives for the ethical and responsible use of this technology in the public sector.
