Latin America is shaping the future of AI—on its own terms. 🇨🇴
CIPE’s new AI Governance Roadmap for Latin America brings together 60+ private-sector leaders to bridge regulation and real-world adoption.
Backed by collaboration with U.S. and regional partners, it drives responsible #AI that supports SMEs and growth. Grateful for our partners @acti_chile, @CNCsocial, @CCIT_, @KodeaOrg, @comexperu, @camaracomerbog, @ICC_COL, and @UTECuniversidad.

Who shapes the rules of investment? 🇨🇱
Last week, CIPE & @CELISInstitute convened leaders to pressure-test Chile’s new investment screening approach—what works, what doesn’t, and what it means for domestic investors.
Transparent, predictable frameworks are key to stronger partnerships and regional economic security.

🇪🇨 What kind of investment helps economies deliver for their citizens?
This week, @CIPE and @FundacionCD are hosting Constructive Capital Week in Ecuador to explore how transparency, integrity, legal certainty, and democratic governance can attract investment that fuels long-term growth.
“Latin America has great investment needs. Attracting constructive capital is key to development.” — Martin Friedl @MAFriedl

#Argentina is developing on one of the world’s most important #lithium reserves. The question: can it turn this into sustained growth? And why should the U.S. care? #CriticalMinerals Here’s what to watch:
Why should you care about lithium in Argentina? It’s a front line for U.S. economic and national security.
With new insights from government and industry leaders, CIPE and @FundLibertadRos are rolling out focused policy recommendations to counter authoritarian influence and secure the supply chain.
Key updates to our roadmap: 🔹 Modernizing governance to curb corruption 🔹 Leverage the Lithium Roundtable for policy reform🔹 Strengthening transparent, democratic alternatives

Great short video on what @NEDemocracy and @CIPEglobal are all about—and why investing in #democracy around the world is worth it. Take a look!
Supporting those who choose freedom isn’t just consistent with our values—it advances America’s security, prosperity, and global leadership.
NED investments help partners around the world build effective democracies grounded in accountability and free markets.
By strengthening transparency and the rule of law, NED and @CIPEglobal partners reduce corruption and promote fair competition—benefiting American workers and businesses.

Live from Lima! 🇵🇪 Today, we’re convening leaders to discuss “AI in the Private Sector: A Roadmap for Governance.” Responsible AI adoption counters authoritarian digital influence while opening new frontiers for U.S. and Latin American tech innovation. 🇺🇸🚀

CIPE joins @NEDemocracy in securing America’s future - which starts with transparent governance. 🛡️🇺🇸
Authoritarian regimes often exploit weak governance in mineral-rich nations through opaque contracts and bribery. CIPE’s partnership with local experts in Bolivia exposed non-transparent deals, helping ensure that Bolivia’s lithium reserves—a critical component of the global energy transition—remain outside the influence of malign actors.
By fostering economic freedom, we’re building a more resilient and secure 21st-century supply chain. Read more from NED President and CEO @DamonMacWilson: ➡️ bit.ly/4a7VSZj

🇲🇽 | According to Mexican prosecutors, the mayor of Teuchitlán, Jalisco, received money from the CJNG in exchange for allowing them to operate in the municipality. If so, this would add to many other cases in which mayors have been linked to criminality in Mexico: bit.ly/4c7u0DR
