Boletín 16821-19

The main AI bill is Boletín 16821-19, which seeks to regulate AI systems. It was introduced in 2024 and is proceeding through the legislative process. Official congressional materials show that the bill is still in process and should not be treated as enacted law until approved and published.

National AI Policy

Chile's national AI policy provides strategic direction for AI development, governance, ethics, innovation and public-sector use. It is relevant for understanding Chile's future regulatory direction, but it does not create a full binding AI compliance regime by itself.

Current compliance

Current AI compliance in Chile depends on existing laws. AI systems involving personal data, consumer services, financial products, healthcare, employment, advertising, intellectual property, public administration or criminal conduct may trigger existing legal obligations.

Penalties

Chile does not currently have one AI-specific penalty table. Penalties depend on the breached legal framework, such as data protection, consumer protection, employment law, financial regulation, healthcare regulation, intellectual-property law or criminal law.
