The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation presented the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Roadmap for Colombia, a strategic document that will set the course for government policies. Emphasizing Colombia’s vision as a leader in the ethical and sustainable adoption of AI, the plan covers five key areas: ethics and governance, education and research, emerging industries, data and organizations, and privacy and cybersecurity. The Ministry underscored the importance of ethical and transparent AI application to address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Additionally, the creation of an AI Expert Committee and international collaboration with UNESCO and the European Commission were announced.
The plan aims to develop an AI CONPES document with support from the National Planning Department for approval in August 2024, aligning with the goals of the National Development Plan and the Ministry’s research policy.
