How to Spice Up Artificial Intelligence with a Latin Flair
Young Mexicans have a chance to customize AI with their culture. Think AI tools in Otomi or social media reflecting Mexican life. But Mexico needs more AI experts. Careers in engineering, math and chemistry are key to building a future with AI that reflects Mexico's richness.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can sometimes feel like a bowl of alphabet soup – a jumble of mysterious letters promising untold potential, but leaving you scratching your head. But for young Latin Americans, AI isn't just a futuristic concept – it's a chance to sprinkle some cultural achiote on this whole technological fiesta.
Héctor Benítez Pérez, a big kahuna at Mexico's Institute for Research in Advanced Mathematics and Systems (IIMAS), says young people have a golden opportunity to take existing AI tools and salsa them up with a Latin twist. Imagine a ChatGPT that converses in fluent Quechua or a social media feed that reflects the electrifying rhythms of Brazilian samba, not just the latest American trends.
