🟢| Highlights of the inaugural working session on #AI governance in Mexico. @LATAMProg @WilsonSTIP @EonInstitute

Today, we launched the new @LATAMProg regional Working Group on #AI in Mexico City, focused on governance in agriculture, healthcare, and fintech. This effort is in collaboration with @Google and our @TheWilsonCenter colleagues from @WilsonSTIP and @MexicoInstitute.

Milei is casting himself as a culture warrior against the creep of the so-called “socialist agenda” appears to be a headwind, @benjamingedan of @TheWilsonCenter’s @LATAMProg told @AP.
