AI adoption in Mexico: 2.1% of firms with digital tools, and a National Plan with no instrument of its own to move it
The 2024 Economic Census asked, for the first time in the country's history, whether firms used artificial intelligence. 5,468,180 economic units answered: 2.1% of those already using digital tools do, below three-dimensional printing. The National AI Plan, published in April 2026, promises to strengthen the country's productive capacities and names no instrument to get there. The one that does exist, the Plan México incentive decree, splits 95% to buying machines and 5% to learning to use them.
