How monitoring works
The review schedule separates automated monitoring from editorial decisions. An alert opens a review; it does not by itself change the catalog, a bill status or evidence of execution.
Monitors and scrapers generate signals and evidence proposals. Only human review can record a published change or a review with no changes.
Upcoming review schedule
The date is updated after a complete editorial review. An automated run alone does not amount to verifying that nothing changed.

Changes published on the site
This history preserves the editorial detail behind visible updates to the catalog, legislation, indicators and resources.
Project
Clara, ARESEP's virtual assistant, is added as a verified adoption. Official sources confirm that it operates on the institutional website using generative AI, Microsoft Copilot Studio and a knowledge base of more than 730 public files; outcomes and quality metrics remain undetermined.
Project
INVU's effort to use AI applications in territorial planning is added under review. The official release confirms the objective but does not establish the applications, technique, vendor, procurement, pilot or operational use, nor does it support inferring a link between AI and the 23 regulatory plans mentioned separately.
Resource
Notes for the two INVU ENIA interventions are updated with adjacent institutional evidence: the 2025 POI documents tender-document adjustments for AI-enabled automation, and the 2026 Initial Budget retains AI and bots within intangible assets. Both actions remain unverified for execution, and the total amount of that budget category is not attributed to AI.
Resource
The editorial schedule workflow is corrected: lead time now follows cadence and business days; issues are created without an initial alert and the watcher notifies only after reaching a verdict; every review requires its issue URL, and closure occurs after CI validates the change on main. API release R10 separates the rolling monitoring log from the eleven frozen substantive datasets and preserves R8 and R9 unchanged.
Low-noise editorial schedule workflow plan, cutoff Aug 24, 2026
Resource
A methodological-consistency audit is completed: verified adoption requires a confirmed technique and a primary source for execution; the Finance Ministry record adds direct evidence of continued E-IAD use; the matrix separates undetermined from not applicable; material gaps require an open question or next review; and labels for sources, production, interpretation, institutions and consent language are corrected. The API opens a new release while preserving R8 unchanged.
Observatory methodological and editorial consistency plan, cutoff Aug 23, 2026
Resource
The public API moves from seven partial exports to a reproducible data product. It preserves the existing routes and envelope, adds the country framework, editorial history, current-affairs notes, resources and a methodological codebook, and publishes schemas, a dated release, checksums and JSON/CSV downloads. It also makes the source scope of comparative gaps explicit, adds row-level provenance to ILIA 2025 and corrects GTMI identification as a GovTech maturity index rather than an AI-readiness ranking.

Resource
The editorial monitoring schedule and review log are released. Eight areas show their scope, last review, next date and cadence; the log records specific transitions as well as reviews that concluded with no changes. Scrapers no longer generate project stubs and instead produce evidence proposals that cannot update the catalog automatically.
Editorial monitoring and traceability policy, cutoff Aug 21, 2026
Resource
The bilingual ENIA Action Plan explorer is released. The view preserves all 129 official records, distinguishes 120 unique interventions and identifies 9 records that repeat an action. It also separates 29 declared AI solutions from 83 actions that are not systems. The crosswalk now contains 6 exact matches, 9 partial matches and 22 solution commitments that remain ENIA-only, with execution assessed separately.
MICITT, ENIA Action Plan and editorial crosswalk, cutoff Aug 21, 2026 ↗
Project
inamu-ela is added as a verified adoption. Official sources confirm an around-the-clock application using GPT-4 Turbo and file search. The record publishes usage, accuracy, referral, safety and human-review outcomes as undetermined.
INAMU, Ela application and terms of use, verified Aug 21, 2026 ↗
Project
ins-reclamos-medicos-ia is added under review. INS reports operation, about 10,000 monthly requests, a reduction in average payment time from 12–13 to 6–7 days and 72% efficiency. Technique, classification, human review, errors and appeal mechanisms are not published, so it does not count as verified adoption.
Project
pj-oij-tec-ia-investigacion is added as ecosystem R&D. The 2024–2026 project develops image recognition, case categorization and incident prediction; a Judiciary source documents the tattoo subcase. No production deployment is claimed, and it remains separate from the ENIA ICE commitment and SUPERCOP.
Costa Rica Institute of Technology and Judiciary, verified Aug 21, 2026 ↗
Legislation
The legislative inventory is audited and corrected to 7 bills specifically or directly related to AI: 4 with committee reports and 3 in committee, none passed. Bill 23.885 on new forms of advertising and Bill 25.379, the Anti-Troll Law, are added; Bill 25.171 is expanded to reflect its artistic, identity and electoral scope and the objection issued by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. Each record now distinguishes core AI regulation from directly related bills, links official status evidence and displays its verification date.
Legislative Assembly and Supreme Electoral Tribunal, official verification as of Aug 21, 2026 ↗
Resource
The complete inventory of the ENIA Action Plan, August 11, 2025 version, is structured: 7 axes, 13 action lines, 36 expected results, 129 interventions and 144 indicators. Plan targets remain official declarations, not evidence of execution. All 129 interventions start with unverified execution and an undetermined crosswalk; the public catalog does not change until research and matching are complete.
Project
The evidence-based catalog interface is released. The home page and initiative index separate verified adoption, under review, and ecosystem and capabilities; records publish type, phase, AI confirmation, a dimension-level matrix, undetermined fields, open questions and source metadata. Institution counts are now derived from the catalog, and legacy summaries that conflated announcements, infrastructure or automation with operational AI systems are corrected.
Evidence model v2 and catalog editorial audit, cutoff Aug 19, 2026
Project
All 26 initiatives are reclassified under evidence model v2. The editorial cutoff is now 5 AI systems or components with verified pilot or operational execution, 6 initiatives under review, and 15 ecosystem and capacity records. Every entry distinguishes type, phase, AI confirmation, evidence by dimension, sources, and undetermined fields. Unsupported claims are also corrected in debt-collection classification, Nymiz, EDUS, AIDA, tax anomaly detection, CONECTA, AgroBoost, and CITIC research.
Catalog editorial audit with traceable sources per entry, cutoff Aug 19, 2026
Project
The source for ccss-logistica-ia-abastecimiento is corrected. The previous URL covered the wait-list cleanup project; it is replaced with reporting that documents contract and supply monitoring, the use of AI, and the Logistics Management Power BI dashboard. The entry remains medium-confidence until a primary CCSS source is available.
Project
New project cataloged: pj-conamaj-chat-facilitadores. CONAMAJ drives a language-model AI chat for judicial facilitators, focused on legal consultations and guidance, distinct from the citizen-facing ChatbotPJ. Recorded as a pilot: the official source does not report a system, vendor, timeline, or measured results. The United Nations is not credited with development or co-execution (only technical support to the event).

Legislation
The three general AI-regulation bills (23.771, 23.919 and 24.484) are updated against the current substitute texts verified in the SIL. 23.771: status corrected to dictaminado and the reference to a non-existent ARIA removed (the text makes MICITT the governing authority, supported by SUTEL). 23.919: the sandbox characterization is replaced with the creation of CIDIA, the advisory committee and the high-risk definition. 24.484: completed with the definitions of generative AI and deep fakes, MICITT's governing role coordinating seven institutions, the reach over foreign actors, and the unanimous committee report.
Legislative Information System (SIL) + current substitute texts (independent verification) ↗
Project
A new project is catalogued: pj-sala-primera-induccion-ia. The Supreme Court's First Chamber states it is in an induction process on the use of prompts so that AI tools can support decision-making. It is recorded as planned: the official source announces no system, vendor, timeline or results. It is distinct from the already catalogued Constitutional Chamber project.
Project
A new project is catalogued: cenat-cnca-clasificacion-arritmias-ecg. CeNAT's CNCA conducts machine-learning research to classify arrhythmias from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, with a prototype device. Verified against CONARE's institutional repository and the CNCA site. Research and prototype scope; no operational clinical use is claimed.
Project
The ccss-depuracion-listas project is updated to incorporate CLEO, the named implementation of the multichannel contact component (email, WhatsApp and automated call). In July 2026 the CCSS launched it in a one-month pilot at Hospital Calderón Guardia, with a declared capacity of up to 1,500 records/day (capacity, not a result), up to three contact attempts, and human validation of the collected information and any eventual removal. The historical institutional baseline figures remain not attributed to the AI.
Resource
Verified publication dates added to the 6 AI governance instruments in the Country Framework: OECD Principles 2019-05-22; ENIA 2024-2027 published 2024-10-24; Decree 44507-MICITT (CNTD Chapter 7 AI) 2024-06-19; ENIA Action Plan 2025-08-11; AI bills 2023-05-30 (first file); Judiciary Basic Guidelines for Generative AI 2026-02-26. The instruments comparison matrix now shows a 'Published' column with month-year format. The milestones timeline shows the exact date via tooltip when known. marcoPais.json schema formalized for the first time (previously only TypeScript types).
Resource
The 'ILIA Latin America rank' Hero KPI is now auto-resolved from the ilia2025 dataset instead of holding a hardcoded value. When ilia2025 is editorially updated with the next ILIA edition (expected Sept-Oct 2026), Costa Rica's rank (e.g. '5°') and the detail line ('53.83/100, -17 gap vs Chile') will stay current automatically with no need to touch the KPI JSON. Internal change; no visual difference on the site while the ranking stays the same.
Indicator
Added two new OECD 2025 indicators to the site: Digital Government Index (DGI) and OURdata Index. Costa Rica scores DGI 0.45 (vs OECD average 0.70, improvement from 0.22 in 2023) and OURdata 0.14 (vs OECD average 0.53, regression from 0.19 in 2023). Each indicator includes a comparative bar chart with OECD/candidate countries (DGI: South Korea, Australia, Portugal, UK, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, CR) and Costa Rica subdimension breakdown (DGI: Digital by Design, User-driven, Data-driven, Proactiveness, Government as a Platform, Open by Default; OURdata: Data availability, Data accessibility, Government support for data reuse).

Resource
Factual correction in the Current-Affairs item on the Second National Forum on AI in Health: Marvin Palma is the CCSS 'acting medical manager' (appointed a.i. on May 8, 2026 for six months), not the substantive holder. Massimo Manzi's title is also updated to 'executive director of the Costa Rican Chamber of Health (CCS) / PROMED' to use the full institutional form. Verified against official CCSS pages (appointment) and GlueUp/Promed (Manzi's title).
Resource
Enriched the Current-Affairs item on the Second National Forum on AI in Health with additional sources triangulating the published data: Delfino.cr (official announcement listing organizers CCS + ULACIT + DHIT and a Massimo Manzi statement) and Promed Costa Rica (official event site with speakers and agenda). The text now mentions the official panel 'The AI in Health Agenda' featuring Deputy Minister of Health Allan Mora and Elliott Garita (Medical Association), the HL7 FHIR R5 Laboratory Results Connectathon held in parallel, and the event's institutional organizers. The implication is strengthened with the technical dimension of clinical-data interoperability.
Resource
Added the Second National Forum on AI in Health (June 17, 2026) and the announcement of a national AI-in-health agenda under construction by the Ministry of Health and MICITT as a Current-Affairs item. Includes statements from CCSS medical manager Marvin Palma (15 primary-care AI pilot areas, mammography and cardiovascular risk) and from the executive director of the Costa Rican Chamber of Health, Massimo Manzi (balance between regulation and innovation, training need). The CCSS projects referenced are already catalogued (AIDA, LIDIA, REDIMED, waiting-list cleanup).
Project
Updated fuenteUrl for project cenat-lania (LaNIA — National AI Laboratory): from dplnews.com to the primary MICITT institutional source confirming CENAT's presentation of the LANIA pilot plan. The institutional source carries more weight for audit purposes than the secondary news outlet; the change does not affect the project's substantive data.
Resource
Added AI4LAC Regional Dialogue on AI Governance as a resource/milestone. Regional process convened in May 2026 by MICITT, UN Costa Rica and ECLAC; Costa Rica leads the consolidation of Latin American and Caribbean AI governance priorities ahead of the Global AI Dialogue in Switzerland. Verified against MICITT official press release of May 29, 2026.
Resource
Fixed 2 links in the CNTD layer on Marco País: Decree 44507-MICITT now points to the full text at PGR (SCIJ) and the current CNTD points to the official MICITT page (node/625, 2026 version).
Resource
Added Latin American AI Index (ILIA) 2024 as regional benchmark resource. CR ranked 4th in infrastructure with 53.09 pts. Note includes evolutionary comparison vs ILIA 2025 (5th, 53.83 pts) to show that absolute score grew even as ranking dropped due to other countries (Mexico) accelerating faster.
Project
Added AgroBoost project (precision coffee farming with AI and sensors) by MICITT in partnership with the Municipality of Dota, INA and five coffee cooperatives. 86 growers integrated in Los Santos. Operational since 2025, scale-up of Coopedota's Project One pilot.
Indicator
Added DisruptIA 2026 as an observatory resource: a training program on AI-augmented business decision making, coordinated by MICITT with INA.
Indicator
Added AILA (Artificial Intelligence Landscape Assessment) as an observatory resource. It is the UNDP readiness assessment applied by MICITT to 75 Costa Rican institutions; initiated March 2026. Not an AI application project but an institutional diagnostic.
Project
CCSS AIDA: operational enrichment. Documents the 15 pilot health areas by name (Tibás-Uruca-Merced, Alajuela Central, Mata Redonda-Hospital, Cartago, Los Chiles, Pital, Cóbano, Garabito, Limón, Talamanca, Pérez Zeledón, Buenos Aires, Coto Brus, Nicoya, Carrillo), 292 new positions for the deployment, and the specific list of expanded EBAIS medicines (rosuvastatin, montelukast, calcium alendronate). Adds institutional epidemiological data: hypertension 36.6%, diabetes 14.8%, insufficient control 4/10 and 6/10. Corrects medical manager's name to Dr. Alexánder León Sánchez Cabo.
Project
CCSS wait-list cleanup: correction and enrichment. Verified full name of the medical manager: Dr. Alexánder León Sánchez Cabo (press alias Alexander Sánchez Cabo), per CCSS Board of Directors Minutes N.° 9589 of March 10, 2026. Documents UTLE technical spokesperson as Enué Arrieta Espinoza and the operational source of figures as the CCSS LEQ March 2026 Report. Records Marvin Palma as interim medical manager since May 8, 2026.
Project
CCSS: new project added to the catalog — AI supply monitoring run by the Logistics Management. Cross-references internal procurement data with international supply-risk indicators and surfaces results through a Power BI dashboard. Active since February 2026.
Project
CCSS AIDA: enrichment of the existing record. Documents Board of Directors approval of the project roadmap, the stated focus on chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), and the parallel non-AI component expanding medicines available at EBAIS primary-care clinics for those patients.
Project
UCR CITIC AI applied to software: documents a new academic publication, "Machine Learning-Based Flood Prediction: A Tertiary Study" — a tertiary study on flood prediction with machine learning. Extends the line toward climate-risk management.
Indicator
Uruguay: adds Decree 276/025 (regulatory sandboxes for AI and data spaces, December 2025) as the primary official source in the regional comparison row. Milestone expanded to cover ENIA 2024-2030, 2025 sandboxes, and the Apr 2026 Parliament+Ceibal training cycle.
Legislation
Costa Rica: new current-affairs note on the executive call (Fernández, May 2026) — 62 bills called for extraordinary sessions, none of the three active AI bills (23.771, 23.919, 24.484) included.
Indicator
Uruguay: milestone expanded to include the Parliament + Ceibal AI training cycle (April 2026), targeting legislators and public officials.
Legislation
