El Salvador has provided regulatory clarity and certainty for the artificial intelligence industry through a pioneering artificial intelligence bill

Golden Finance reports, according to The Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, in order to align with President Bukele's economic freedom policies, the Salvadoran government has passed a groundbreaking artificial intelligence bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity and certainty for the AI industry, particularly covering the development and innovation of open-source models.

This new legislative framework ensures that both proprietary and open-source AI systems can receive appropriate protection, with particular emphasis on legal safeguards for open-source development. This is the first national legislation globally that explicitly extends legal protection to open-source AI development. While proprietary models will continue to benefit from existing international protection mechanisms, this draft marks the first time a clear legal framework has been provided at a national level for open source AI development.
