The legislator emphasized that phenomena such as organized crime, economic transformation, and the rapid advancement of technology require coordinated regional responses with a long-term vision. He also highlighted the need to boost more competitive and inclusive economies, as well as to generate clear regulatory frameworks to regulate emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. "Artificial intelligence is not a topic of the future, it is a present reality. The challenge is not to stop innovation, but to ensure that its development is accompanied by clear rules and a public vision," he stated. The Guanajuato deputy stressed that the role of parliaments is fundamental to guaranteeing stability, legality, and trust in institutions. In this sense, he warned that any institutional reform must strengthen checks and balances and citizen participation. "When a reform weakens checks and balances, it ceases to be a reform and becomes a risk," he expressed. Finally, Alan Márquez noted that Mexico's participation in these types of forums strengthens international cooperation and allows for the construction of shared solutions for global challenges. "When parliaments cooperate, our institutions are strengthened and our democracies advance," he concluded. The federal deputy for Guanajuato, Alan Sahir Márquez Becerra, represented Mexico at the Forum of Presidents of Legislative Powers of Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean (FOPREL), where parliamentary delegations from various countries in the region participated to dialogue about the main shared challenges. During his participation, the legislator attended on behalf of the Chamber of Deputies and its president, Deputy Kenia López Rabadán, in a high-level space focused on building regional agreements. At this international forum, three key topics for the future of Latin America were addressed: transnational security, economic development, and the regulation of artificial intelligence. In his intervention, Alan Márquez highlighted that the current challenges of the region can no longer be resolved from a single nation, but require coordination between countries and strengthening of parliaments. "The challenges of Latin America are no longer solved within a single border."
