Artificial intelligence is being integrated across various medical sectors to enhance diagnostic capabilities and treatment precision. In veterinary medicine, computational systems assist in hematological and parasitological analyses, while in human healthcare, applications extend to early cancer diagnosis, personalized medicine, and robotic-assisted surgery. Experts maintain that AI should augment rather than replace medical professionals, as human empathy and clinical responsibility remain essential.

As these technologies advance, global regulatory responses are intensifying. In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has prioritized AI legislation to protect human rights, democracy, and the labor market from the risks of intellectual automation and wealth concentration. Italy remains among the first European nations to approve comprehensive AI legislation.

In Mexico, the focus has expanded to include the societal risks of AI. President Claudia Sheinbaum has called for legislative debate regarding the use of AI to propagate false information on social media. Additionally, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) has advocated for regulatory parameters to ensure AI does not exacerbate inequality or discrimination. Experts suggest that Mexican AI policy may need to align with North American standards through the USMCA framework.
