AI bills and amendment to constitutional article 73

BillAI bills (Mexico)

Summary

Mexico has no AI law. There are at least three drafts: a Senate General Law with three tiers (prohibited uses, high-risk with registration and audits, limited uses), a National Law that would create a National AI Agency, and a Federal Law filed in the Chamber of Deputies in July 2026. Constitutional article 73 must first be amended to give Congress the power to legislate. The political goal was approval by the end of 2026.

Who it applies to

If passed, to those who develop, sell or use AI systems in Mexico, with heavier duties for high-risk systems.

Penalties

The rule has no penalty regime of its own, or it does not apply.
