Chile
Chile pairs an updated National AI Policy with a risk-based bill in Congress that borrows the EU's structure, including an AI-system definition close to the AI Act's and operator roles spanning supplier, implementer, representative, importer, and distributor. It is the region's most developed proposal after Brazil's, but it is not law.
Key points
- The bill uses a risk-based structure with an EU-style definition of an AI system and defined operator roles.
- Chile's National AI Policy was updated to frame the legislative push.
- Transparency, fairness, and human oversight are the bill's organizing duties.
