The Congress of the Republic of Peru enacted Law No. 31814 on July 5, 2023, with the aim of promoting the responsible use of artificial intelligence in various sectors of the country. The law seeks to create a regulatory framework that guides technological development toward social and economic benefits.
Among its main provisions, the law establishes principles of ethics, transparency, and personal data protection as pillars for the adoption of artificial intelligence-based solutions. It also promotes the training of specialized human talent and research in this field.
The regulation mandates the Executive Branch to implement a National Artificial Intelligence Policy, in coordination with relevant entities, to ensure the inclusive and sustainable deployment of this technology in sectors such as education, health, justice, and security.
With this law, Peru joins the international trend of establishing legal frameworks for artificial intelligence, with the aim of fostering innovation while preventing risks associated with its use.
