Twelve of eighteen ministries at zero: the first AI governance index

The Capitolio Nacional in Bogotá with the Colombian flag.

Key takeaways

  • Twelve of eighteen ministries: zero demonstrable obligations. None exceeds two of six.
  • The operational variables (metrics, assessments, appeal) are at absolute zero across the cabinet.
  • Leaving zero costs six documents and one quarter — the instruments are published and free.
  • The index measures public demonstrability by design: governance that cannot be demonstrated builds no trust and allows no oversight.
  • First edition with codes and a reply protocol; the named table is published as the index's annex, and the second edition will be nominal from page one.

A year after the national AI policy, we measured what each ministry can demonstrate publicly. Twelve can demonstrate none of the six basic obligations; none demonstrates more than two. The national register, meanwhile, exists — as a bill.

The full document is currently published in Spanish; an English edition is prepared when demand warrants it. The Spanish record carries the complete summary and contents.
