Noesis [online]. 2025, vol.7, n.esp2, pp.1330-1347.  Epub 31-Dic-2025. ISSN 2739-0365.  https://doi.org/10.35381/noesisin.v7i2.658.

This research analyzes the complex convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and personal data protection in Ecuador. Its objective is to identify the benefits and risks of this application, examining the current legal framework and challenges in data governance. Through a qualitative methodology and documentary analysis, the study reveals that AI can significantly enhance efficiency and security in information processing. However, inherent risks also arise, such as possible algorithmic biases and privacy violations. The findings emphasize that responsible, transparent, and ethical implementation, backed by robust data governance, is essential to mitigate these dangers. In conclusion, AI has transformative potential for Ecuador, but its success depends on the creation of a robust regulatory framework that ensures a balance between technological innovation and the protection of fundamental rights.
