The event – organized by ECLAC and Chile’s National Center for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA) – will feature welcome remarks by José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, ECLAC’s Executive Secretary, and Ewout Sandker, Head of Cooperation of the European Union Delegation in Chile.
Afterwards, Chile’s Minister of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, Aisén Etcheverry, will make a presentation, and Eve Andersson, Senior Director at Google Alphabet, will deliver a keynote address.
The Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index, developed by CENIA, collects information about the current situation in this area along three key dimensions: enabling factors, R&D and governance.
The index offers a regional perspective on critical issues for the creation of development and innovation ecosystems based on AI, the governance of this technology, gaps existing between countries, and best practices adopted by various states and organizations.
This gathering is part of the efforts of the Digital Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC), a regional initiative for which ECLAC serves as Technical Secretariat and which has support from the EU-Latin America and the Caribbean Digital Alliance project, which is an integral part of the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy.
