This project focuses on analyzing the risks associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Latin America, especially in relation to the protection of biometric data. Regional challenges will be examined, taking as a reference the legal framework and technologies used in the European Union to safeguard this data. Tools such as advanced encryption systems and Biometric Privacy Enhancement Techniques (B-PET) will be identified. Based on this analysis, a guide of recommendations adapted to the needs of Latin America will be developed, with the aim of strengthening the protection of biometric data and promoting best practices in AI and information security.
