VIGÍA

VIGÍA — Valoración de Impactos Gubernamentales de Inteligencia Artificial (Assessment of Governmental Impacts of Artificial Intelligence) — is a platform under development that maps, analyzes, and communicates public decisions about artificial intelligence in Mexico. It emerged as part of the projects of the AI Governance course taught by ENAIS and AI Safety Mexico, and has since grown into a standalone initiative.

The observatory aims to close a concrete gap: there is no public, systematic, and auditable source documenting how the Mexican government makes decisions about AI — what it procures, what it regulates, what it deploys, and under what oversight. VIGÍA articulates that information for researchers, journalists, civil society, and decision-makers.

The platform articulates three layers of work: (1) documentary tracking of procurements, regulations, public consultations, and government deployments involving AI systems; (2) qualitative analysis of each case under categories of governance, risk, and accountability; and (3) structured communication in formats accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences — briefs, timelines, and interpretive summaries.

The approach prioritizes verifiability: every case documented in VIGÍA links to its primary source (official gazettes, minutes, communiqués) and is accompanied by a methodological note on how the information was obtained and classified.
