Use of AI in administrative responsibility proceedings (LGRA)

What it is. Adds a Third Title to the Second Book of the Ley General de Responsabilidades Administrativas (General Law of Administrative Responsibilities) regarding the use of AI tools in investigating and determining serious and non-serious faults and in the administrative responsibility proceeding.

Who. Sen. Agustín Dorantes Lámbarri (PAN). When. Presented to the Comisión Permanente (Standing Committee) on July 8, 2026. Status. Referred to the Joint Committees on Justice; Analysis, Monitoring and Evaluation on Artificial Intelligence in Mexico; and Legislative Studies, Second.

The principles it imposes

It subjects the use of artificial intelligence tools to ten guiding principles: legality, transparency, traceability, human supervision, explainability, personal data protection, non-discrimination, accountability, proportionality, and information security. Responsibility for actions and resolutions remains with judges and public officials with judicial functions: AI cannot substitute for legal reasoning, automatically evaluate evidence, determine disputed facts, or make decisions without human intervention.

Why it matters

It is one of the 14 mirror initiatives that Sen. Dorantes presented on July 8, 2026 to insert the same chapter, "On the use of artificial intelligence tools," into virtually all Mexican procedural law—from administrative and labor law to criminal, commercial, agrarian and military law—plus a reform to Article 17 of the Constitution. Collectively they pursue a single standard: AI as an auxiliary tool, under human supervision and without substituting the judgment of those who decide or resolve.
