Meeting on artificial intelligence, work, and production announced

On August 10, 2026, registrations have opened for an important meeting that will address the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), work, and production in Latin America. This event, scheduled for next month, aims to bring together experts, academics, and industry professionals to discuss how AI is transforming the labor landscape and what opportunities and challenges it presents for workers in the region.

AI is revolutionizing industries worldwide, and Latin America is no exception. With a labor market facing significant challenges such as unemployment and underemployment, the incorporation of advanced technologies could provide innovative solutions. However, it also raises critical questions about automation and the potential disappearance of certain jobs.

The meeting will focus on topics such as workforce training, creating new job opportunities in the tech sector, and the role of education in preparing a labor force that can adapt to the changing demands of the market. Additionally, case studies of companies that have successfully implemented AI technologies will be explored, along with the policies needed to support a fair transition to a more digitized labor future.

Organizers expect this event to foster constructive dialogue among various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations, to ensure that the implementation of AI benefits everyone in society. Registrations are open until September 15, and a wide participation is anticipated, reflecting the growing interest in the impact of AI on work and production in the region.
