Constitutional Reform of Article 73 to Authorize Congress on Artificial Intelligence Matters (Senate - Karina Ruiz)

Karina Isabel Ruiz Ruiz (MORENA) · Senate · January 15, 2026 · in committees

Initiative with a bill that amends Article 73 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) to authorize the Congress of the Union (Congreso de la Unión) to enact legislation on artificial intelligence. Aims to add a new section to Article 73 of the Constitution to grant Congress exclusive authority to legislate on artificial intelligence at the federal level, preventing regulatory fragmentation among federal entities. Grounded in the need to establish controls based on three pillars: ethics and transparency, personal data and privacy protection, and oversight with accountability of artificial intelligence systems. Referred (turnada) to the Constitutional Affairs Commission (Comisión de Puntos Constitucionales), the Commission on Analysis, Monitoring and Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Development and Application in Mexico (Comisión de Análisis, Seguimiento y Evaluación sobre la aplicación y desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial en México), and the Senate's Legislative Studies Commission (Comisión de Estudios Legislativos del Senado).
