dc.description.abstractIn Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing in a context marked by structural gaps, developing regulatory frameworks, and heterogeneous digital capabilities. The fAIr Tech Radar study, promoted by IDB Lab within the work of the fAIr LAC initiative and the IAméricas project, together with NTT DATA and the Universidad de los Andes, responds to this reality with a strategic tool to assess both technical maturity and alignment with responsible AI principles. Methodologically, it combines a comparative review of international frameworks on responsible artificial intelligence (RAI) with the application of structured surveys, building a Maturity Index of the Responsible Use of AI. The regional average is 2.9 (of a scale from 1 to 5), reflecting significant technical advances, but lags in governance and inclusion. The study confirms maturity at different rates: startups innovate quickly without responsible structures; SMEs balance innovation and governance; corporations face institutional rigidity. The regional challenge is not only to adopt AI, but to do so in a responsible, inclusive and sustainable way. fAIr Tech Radar offers evidence and recommendations for AI to consolidate itself as a driver of productivity, trust, and human development in LAC.
