Personal data and AI in public institutions

What changes in daily work when a personal data law takes effect: forms, the citizen service desk, benefit records and the AI tools the team already uses. In Chile the date is 1 December 2026, under Law 21.719. This is not the legal course: it ends with an inventory of data processing activities and a ranked risk matrix.

AI and municipal video surveillance: legitimate use and governance

A municipal camera network is personal data processing: lawful basis, what is captured, who has access, how long it is kept and what you answer when someone complains. Plus the layer the technology vendor does not deliver: bias, the limits of predictive analysis, due process and who answers for an error. It ends with a legitimacy record for each deployed system.

  10. 10

    Incubation

    From 1 year

    Accompaniment from zero: mentoring, investor network and the slow work of turning an idea into an organisation.

  11. 11

    Territorial Lab

    1 to 3 years

    Installing a new capability inside your organisation: a unit, a local team trained to run it and the methodology embedded so it survives us.

Prices depend on scope, cohort size and country. Every format is quoted as a single proposal.
