Pending initiatives for a General/Federal AI Law and constitutional reform (Article 73) to empower Congress on AI
ProposedBillNon-binding
Multiple initiatives are pending in committee, including an April 2026 proposal to amend Constitution Article 73 so Congress can issue a general AI law, a Senate proposal for a General AI Law, and a July 2026 proposal for a Federal AI Development Law with a National AI Council and risk 'traffic-light' system. None has been approved.
Why it matters
Mexico has no binding AI-specific law; companies rely on existing data-protection, consumer and sector rules.
