Q&A: AI Adoption Moving Faster in LATAM Than Developed Markets
In the Nearshore Americas interview with Andrea Iorio on AI adoption in Latin America, keynote speaker on AI Andrea Iorio explains that artificial intelligence is being adopted in Latin America at an unusually rapid pace, in some cases outpacing developed markets, due to the region’s tech talent and openness to innovation. He highlights that companies and even governments are increasingly using conversational AI and building language models, but many organizations still struggle to educate users on how to benefit from new technologies. Iorio notes that while digital services are being rolled out widely, such as in Rio Grande do Sul’s public sector, the real challenge now is teaching people to use them effectively and aligning AI tools with core business strategies.
Iorio also discusses key challenges facing the region’s AI transformation, including concerns around data security, the environmental impact of training large models, and the need for upskilling workforces so humans can collaborate effectively with AI rather than being replaced by it. He argues that real AI transformation requires thoughtful data and human resources strategies, and that the speed of adoption must be balanced with education and infrastructure development to ensure companies can reap the benefits without increasing vulnerability to cyber risk.
