El Salvador's AI law is the first in Latin America to require registration with a national AI authority. Registration with ANIA unlocks liability protections (immunity for third-party misuse if reasonable safety measures were taken) and access to tax incentives — creating a meaningful incentive structure for compliance. All natural and legal persons engaged in AI research, development, or deployment must register.
