Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Data Sovereignty: Challenges for Latin American Futures

This roundtable aims to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue on the complex interactions between artificial intelligence (AI), data governance, sovereignty, and ethics within the unique socio-political contexts of Latin America. The central objective of this conversation is to dialogue with scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand the nuances of technological transformation in Latin America. By bridging the disciplines of engineering, sociology, and philosophy, the discussion promises to offer both critical theoretical insights and practical recommendations for ethical AI and data governance.
