On February 14th, 2025, The National Council for Economic and Social Policy (“CONPES”) approved the National Artificial Intelligence Policy, aimed at developing ethical and sustainable development of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) systems in the country, with an impact on key sectors such as healthcare, education, and the environment.
To ensure its implementation, the policy sets out six strategic objectives: strengthening AI governance, ethics, and regulation; improving technological infrastructure and data management; fostering research and innovation; developing digital talent; mitigating AI-associated risks; and promoting its adoption in both public and private entities.
Between 2026 and 2030 the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce must publish an annual report on the negative effects of AI on privacy, based on data breaches reported to the National Database Registry.
With this approval Colombia joins other nations in addressing the challenges posed by AI implementation.
