Peru Congress advances AI bills

The Congress of the Republic of Peru is moving ahead with a slate of bills that would expand the legal framework for artificial intelligence, cybercrime and public administration. Among the proposals are rules to remove unlawful content within 48 hours, criteria for using video analytics and AI in municipal security patrols, and a framework to bring robotic process automation into state management.

What would the municipal security patrol bill change?

Bill 14530/2025-CR seeks to amend Law No. 31297 to strengthen technological interoperability, professionalization and modernization of municipal security patrols, with operational coordination with the Peruvian National Police.

According to the congressional record, that interoperability would include shared use of video surveillance systems and municipal command and control centers, along with the possibility of integrating AI-based video analytics tools into regional citizen security platforms. The version recorded by Sistemas de Algoritmos Públicos, at the University of the Andes, adds that the proposal sets minimum criteria for institutional use of video analytics and AI applied to crime prevention and local citizen security.

How does Congress plan to bring AI into public administration?

Bill 14601/2025-CR proposes a gradual, ethical and fiscally responsible incorporation of artificial intelligence and robotic process automation into public administration.

According to the legislative file, the text is aligned with the national digital transformation policy and with existing frameworks on algorithmic governance, risk management, personal data protection and state digital transformation. The same file says the National Authority for Transparency and Personal Data Protection would take part as a mandatory consultation body in designing technical guidelines for public sector AI projects.

What obligations does the cybercrime and unlawful content bill set?

File 14760/2025-CR states that the obligation to remove unlawful content within 48 hours applies to social media platforms, content hosting providers and video-sharing services.

The deadline begins when the competent authority notifies the platform, and the text includes escalating fines for repeated noncompliance, according to the congressional file. The wording broadens the regulatory reach beyond social networks and covers intermediaries that host or distribute videos.

What bills are part of this legislative picture?

Alongside 14530/2025-CR, 14601/2025-CR and 14760/2025-CR, Congress also lists other proposals tied to AI governance, transparency and oversight, such as 14544/2025-CR, and an initiative on digital sexual violence through artificial intelligence, Bill 00006/2026-CR.

The set of available files also includes the law amending the Penal Code to prevent and punish digital sexual violence through artificial intelligence, together with the bill that complements and strengthens the framework for governance, transparency, oversight and accountability in the use of artificial intelligence. Taken together, the legislative record shows that debate in Peru’s Congress is advancing in parallel on digital security, data protection, state use of AI and new obligations for platforms.
