This 2025 edition of the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA) provides quantitative and qualitative data on progress in artificial intelligence (AI) in 19 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. ILIA is fundamental for identifying achievements, gaps and opportunities for improvement in the AI ecosystems of countries across the region and an essential reference to address the main challenges of Latin America and the Caribbean in AI and digital transformation.

Led by the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA) of Chile and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), with the support of other public and private entities, the index facilitates the development of road maps for regional technological development. It is structured around three dimensions —enabling factors; research, development and adoption; and governance— and allows countries of the region to be classified into three groups according to the maturity of their ecosystems, as pioneers, adopters or explorers, providing a comprehensive view of technological progress. This analysis enables decision makers to design strategies that accelerate AI development, thereby fostering virtuous and competitive growth in the countries of the region.
