Resumen

This study aims to explore and establish the relationship between the legal framework and public policies governing access to and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies by individuals with disabilities in Latin American countries. To achieve this, an analysis was conducted on the region's current government regulations and policies, alongside the initiatives and practices implemented in this area. The findings highlight a variety of approaches and levels of progress in regulating and promoting technological accessibility for people with disabilities. Notable advancements and areas for improvement were identified to enhance inclusion and equitable access to AI tools. Based on these insights, robust recommendations and guidelines are proposed to strengthen the integration of individuals with disabilities into the digital era, ensuring their rights and fostering their full participation in society. This research offers valuable contributions to understanding and addressing the challenges and opportunities arising from the intersection of the legal framework, public policies, and AI technologies in the context of disability in Latin America.
