The expansion of artificial intelligence in Latin America reveals deep digital gaps that affect Indigenous Peoples, but it also opens the opportunity to incorporate their ancestral knowledge in a transition toward a more inclusive and decolonized “artificial wisdom.

The revolution of artificial intelligence faces its own mirror: algorithms also inherit the biases and inequalities of the society that creates them. Understanding this is key to building a truly inclusive AI.
In a region marked by deep inequalities, artificial intelligence reflects and amplifies society’s gender biases, turning a technological challenge into a human development problem.
