Artificial Intelligence's Social and Economic Impact On Latin America

    Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

    Description

    The talk examined the transformative potential and challenges of artificial intelligence across key sectors in Latin America through 2035. The analysis focused on how foundation models and large language models reshaped the digital economy, from augmenting professional services to creating new entrepreneurial opportunities in the technology sector. Research highlighted advances in computational infrastructure for AI development, including distributed computing networks, novel architectures for weak AI implementation, and applications in critical domains such as climate science and precision medicine. The final segment presented a systematic assessment of policy responses from key stakeholders: governmental bodies developing regulatory frameworks and digital sovereignty initiatives, civil society organisations advocating for ethical AI deployment and digital rights, academic institutions building regional AI research capacity, and industry consortiums working to establish technical standards and shared resources for AI development.
