La eficacia de una normativa especial que regule el uso de la inteligencia artificial para evitar ciber-delitos en el Ecuador

Abstract

This research examines the need for specialized legislation to prevent cybercrimes in Ecuador. During the pandemic and post-pandemic eras, the rate of cybercrime has increased considerably. Countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador have reported the highest number of cybercrimes due to the emergence of new digital tools that have gained considerable popularity. However, the malicious use of technology has led to an increase in cybercrimes within the Ecuadorian state. If Ecuador plans to implement regulations concerning Artificial Intelligence, it should be incorporated into the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection. This legal body was established in 2021 and is responsible for regulating data processing; however, in its eighty-six articles, none mentions regulating artificial intelligence, nor does it guarantee the prevention of cybercrimes.
