According to Foresight News, under the leadership of El Salvador's President, the Bitcoin Office announced the passage of an artificial intelligence (AI) bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity and certainty for the industry. This move aligns with President Bukele's economic freedom policies. The bill's Article 19 offers protections for AI developers in Latin America and globally, ranging from sandbox protections to safeguards against third-party misuse. Additionally, the Salvadoran government plans to establish an AI laboratory to promote the development, research, and application of AI within government institutions and services.
