This thesis investigates the impact of generative AI technologies on deliberative democracy in Latin America, focusing on the cases of Peru and Brazil. Through qualitative interviews with experts from both countries, this research uses several techniques to process the data collected and intends to draw conclusions from it. The study found that unregulated generative AI is a source of concern for Peruvian and Brazilian participants. Another key finding was that these two countries are not keen on collaborating with other countries in the region to establish a regulatory framework on generative AI. Through the analysis of the five principles of deliberative democracy: citizen participation, inclusivity, accessibility, accountability, and quality of deliberation, this project was able to draw conclusions on which of these dimensions could be impacted by generative AI. The results of the study show that in the case of Peru, generative AI technologies impact citizen participation and accountability the most. In the case of Brazil generative AI technologies impact citizen participation, inclusivity, and transparency the most. The most important finding, however, is the commonality shared by Peru and Brazil which signifies that in both countries citizen participation will be impacted by generative AI. The question of how citizen participation will be impacted requires a deeper analysis of the responses of the interviewees as they have both positive and negative perspectives on the issue.
