摘要

With more and more public administration relying on algorithmic tools, this requires more than rules and laws; it requires an invention of ethical governance that will be able to respond to future risks. The article investigates the misalignment among ethical principles, legal obligations, and technological practices within the Latin American public sector. Through an analysis of 53 legal and policy documents in Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Canada, the study identifies six systemic gaps in ethical regulation of algorithmic public governance: non-enforceable ethics codes, lack of role-based accountability, ineffective sanctioning mechanisms, limited legal integration, negligence in the benchmarking of international models, and the paradox of ethics-free anti-corrupted algorithms. The paper uses thematic write coding, comparative cartography and visual modeling to advance a repertory diagnosis tool for ethical and legal readiness. Findings confirm the fragility of ethical governance in the region and the importance of putting in place operable mandates and transparent designs. The results allow for a more comprehensive understanding of regulatory inertia in the public sector and provide a road map for future research, participatory auditing, and the use of ethics-by-design in AI-supported administrative settings.
