Alonso Tamez

Alonso Tamez holds a bachelor's degree in marketing from Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City campus (2015), a master's in political communication from the University of Glasgow, Scotland (2019) and a master's in political science and communication from the London School of Economics, England (2021).

He has been a columnist at Diario 24 Horas (Mexico) since 2015 and served as correspondent in the United Kingdom and Spain between 2018 and 2020, where he interviewed former heads of state, ambassadors and legislators. In 2016, he represented Mexico as a Youth Representative at the UN Economic and Social Council's #Youth2030 Forum, advocating for anti-corruption policies.

In 2018, he received the Global Democracy Award from the Academy of Arts and Political Sciences in Washington, D.C., for promoting the INE–Facebook agreement project, adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE) to promote electoral participation among Mexican citizens during the 2017–2018 Federal Electoral Process. In 2019, he served as advisor to the Director of Communication of the Club de Madrid, the world's largest forum of former democratic presidents and prime ministers.

Since October 2024, he has served as Chief of Staff to Senator Rolando Zapata Bello — who chairs the Senate's Artificial Intelligence Commission — and as Technical Secretary of the Commission, a role through which he oversees its day-to-day operations and manages relations with its eleven senator members. In this capacity, he drafted the Commission's work plans for both 2025 and 2026, establishing in each case the institutional roadmap guiding its activities and legislative priorities. Between 2024 and 2025, he moderated the six roundtable sessions of the Senate's Artificial Intelligence Commission, an unprecedented and pluralistic specialized consultation that brought together 72 experts from academia, the private sector, the public sector, and civil society, as well as international organizations, with the aim of building a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence in Mexico.

In the summer of 2025, he coordinated the drafting of the three official documents published by the Commission, which synthesize the recommendations emerging from the roundtables, the findings of the consultation process, and a sector-by-sector analysis — comprising the first reference documentary collection produced by the Mexican Senate on artificial intelligence governance. He currently presents the Commission's work on a regular basis at conferences, specialized forums, media outlets, and academic settings, and frequently represents the Commission in working sessions with various institutions, including the Government of Mexico.
