Peru has experienced a rapid increase in AI-related legislation, prompting concerns about the quality and coherence of its regulatory framework. The proliferation of laws and policies lacks strategic coordination and depth, risking fragmented governance that may impede innovation and fail to adequately protect citizens.

Experts call for more inclusive, well-resourced, and strategically planned AI regulations that engage diverse stakeholders and build institutional capacity. Balancing the opportunities AI presents with ethical, social, and human rights considerations is essential. Peru’s experience offers valuable lessons for other emerging economies aiming to develop sustainable and effective AI governance structures.
