Panama ranks 9th in the Latin American Artificial

Panama ranks 9th out of 19 countries in the Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA), led by Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay. Panama scored 37.45 out of 100 points but was recognized for its strong performance in open-source code development, surpassing countries like Uruguay and Costa Rica.

Panama's strengths are in developing new AI applications, particularly in open-source solutions. However, it faces challenges in enabling factors like research, development, and adoption, as well as infrastructure and human talent development. The country scored 49.93 in infrastructure (moderate capacity) and 33.74 in human talent development, indicating significant challenges in training and retaining specialized talent.
