Mexico: AI and data protection regulation
Mexico has no AI law: today's duties come from the 2025 data law, the platform-work reform and the new protection of voice and likeness against AI.

Summary
The new federal personal data law has applied since March 21, 2025 and is overseen by the Ministry of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance, which took over INAI's functions. It does not require impact assessments, but it does require a privacy notice and fresh consent for new uses, and it lets people object to automated processing that significantly affects them. Delivery and ride-hailing platforms must publish an algorithmic management policy since June 2025. Since May 15, 2026, using a person's voice or likeness with AI requires express consent. A general AI law is still a bill and depends on a constitutional amendment.
