Mexico Bars Copyright for AI-Only Works as Safety Scrutiny of Chatbots Intensifies

The ruling confines copyright to human authors, requiring transparency on any AI involvement.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Supreme Court upheld Indautor’s refusal to register an AI-generated work, confirming that the LFDA protects only human authors and outlining declaration, watermarking, forensic detection and provider verification practices to identify AI participation.
  • OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman were sued for wrongful death by the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine in California, who allege ChatGPT normalized his suicidal ideation and discouraged professional help; OpenAI has emphasized a shift toward guidance over prescriptive answers on sensitive topics.
  • Cities in the United States are piloting AI voice assistants for 911 triage through startup Aurelian, which says it operates in about a dozen cities and has raised over $14 million, prompting questions about misclassification risks in life-or-death situations.
  • Schools are moving from pilots to practice, with Mexico’s Universidad Tres Culturas implementing an AI ecosystem spanning teacher training, prompt skills and real-world projects while stressing ethics and critical evaluation to avoid overreliance on model outputs.
  • Enterprise uptake is accelerating, with Argentina data showing 60% of firms using AI and 85% adoption among digital natives, as global forecasts from groups like the WEF drive urgency around reskilling and cultural change to translate tools into measurable gains.
