The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Los juristas nos enfrentamos al reto de analizar los riesgos que para la privacidad de las personas tiene el uso de la Inteligencia artificial y el Big Data. El derecho fundamental a la protección de datos personales tiene una imbricación transversal en todos los órdenes jurisdiccionales: civil, penal, contencioso administrativo, social y militar. La sociedad demanda respuestas sobre un derecho que rompe con cánones establecidos hasta ahora. La territorialidad o el orden de prelación de fuentes, quedan indefectiblemente modificados. La responsabilidad proactiva es una novedad en la vigente regulación. El término accountability hace referencia a la responsabilidad en la implantación de los mecanismos adecuados para el cumplimiento del régimen jurídico del derecho a la protección de datos y a la utilización de métodos de validación que aseguren la fiabilidad del sistema establecido en la defensa de este derecho. Se trata de un sistema basado en la evaluación de los riesgos y en la demostración de la efectividad del mecanismo utilizado en la protección del derecho, cuando así lo soliciten las diferentes autoridades de control.
