Costa Rica
Costa Rica has a 2024-2027 AI strategy focused on ethics, skills and public services, with no compute or data centre provisions in what we read.
The science ministry presented the National AI Strategy 2024-2027 on 24 October 2024. It has four axes: ethical and regulatory frameworks, skills, research and innovation, and AI in public services. A news summary says it does not set out data centre or computing infrastructure measures. For someone seeking compute, it is a governance document rather than a capacity plan.
AI policy and activity
Reported as the first public AI policy in Central America. It strengthens the cybersecurity directorate and the digital government agency.
