Es un honor hacer parte de esta selectiva lista, junto con CEO\u2019s, fundadoras, investigadoras, cient\u00edficas y mujeres l\u00edderes en IA, y poder divulgar m\u00e1s sobre las formas en que usamos estas tecnolog\u00edas para el impacto social.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WIRED se enfoca en crear contenido sobre c\u00f3mo las tecnolog\u00edas emergentes afectan la cultura, econom\u00eda, y pol\u00edtica en el mundo. El art\u00edculo destaca el papel fundamental de las mujeres en Am\u00e9rica Latina en abordar los riesgos asociados con la IA: \u00e9ticos, de seguridad y de equidad.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El rol de las mujeres en el campo de la inteligencia artificial es crucial para garantizar un desarrollo tecnol\u00f3gico m\u00e1s inclusivo y \u00e9tico. La diversidad de g\u00e9nero en equipos de IA no solo promueve una representaci\u00f3n equitativa, sino que tambi\u00e9n aporta una variedad de perspectivas y enfoques que enriquecen el proceso de dise\u00f1o y desarrollo de algoritmos. Fomentar la participaci\u00f3n de las mujeres en estas \u00e1reas es una cuesti\u00f3n de equidad y de asegurar que la tecnolog\u00eda se desarrolle responsablemente y responda a las necesidades diversas de la sociedad.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desde The Trust for the Americas, adem\u00e1s de enfocarnos&nbsp;en capacitar en habilidades digitales y para la vida a las comunidades m\u00e1s vulnerables para empoderarles en el mundo de la IA, tambi\u00e9n, hemos enfocado nuestros esfuerzos en explorar nuevas formas en que la tecnolog\u00eda puede mejorar la vida de las personas. Un ejemplo claro de esto \u00faltimo es nuestro proyecto JET, referente en la regi\u00f3n, donde creamos el \u201cEmployment and Skills Monitor\u201d para, a trav\u00e9s del uso de algoritmos de aprendizaje profundo y procesamiento de lenguaje natural, poder identificar las tendencias del mercado laboral en 12 pa\u00edses e informar pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas locales en el Caribe. Tengo la suerte de tener un espacio como The Trust donde pensamos en formas en las que la tecnolog\u00eda puede mejorar la vida de las personas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El potencial de la inteligencia artificial y los datos para generar un impacto social positivo es inmenso. Estas tecnolog\u00edas pueden transformar c\u00f3mo abordamos los desaf\u00edos sociales m\u00e1s apremiantes, desde la salud y la educaci\u00f3n hasta la lucha contra la pobreza y el cambio clim\u00e1tico. La IA puede ayudar a identificar patrones y tendencias en grandes conjuntos de datos que permitan una toma de decisiones m\u00e1s informada y eficiente. Adem\u00e1s, puede automatizar tareas repetitivas y liberar recursos humanos para centrarse en actividades de mayor valor a\u00f1adido. Sin embargo, es crucial que este potencial se utilice de manera \u00e9tica y equitativa, asegurando que se prioricen los intereses de las comunidades m\u00e1s vulnerables y que se aborden las preocupaciones sobre la privacidad y la discriminaci\u00f3n algor\u00edtmica. Esto es clave para nosotros desde The Trust, donde nos enfocamos en abordar la tecnolog\u00eda y el dise\u00f1o de proyectos con IA desde perspectivas \u00e9ticas y transparentes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee el art\u00edculo de WIRED: <a href=\"\/en\/\"https:>https:\/\/es.wired.com\/articulos\/ellas-son-las-mujeres-que-nos-protegeran-de-los-riesgos-de-la-ia-en-america-latina<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por: <a href=\"\/en\/\"https:>Valeria Tafoya, consultora en Inteligencia Artificial, The Trust for the Americas<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I was recognized by the Spanish-language edition of WIRED magazine as one of the leading women in Latin America working toward safer, more people-centered artificial intelligence (AI). It is an honor to be part of this select list, alongside CEOs, founders, researchers, scientists, and women leaders in AI, and to be able to share more about the ways we use these technologies to drive social impact.\u00a0\u00a0 WIRED focuses on creating content about how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics around the world. The article highlights the fundamental role of women in Latin America in addressing the risks associated with AI\u2014including ethical, safety, and equity risks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The role of women in the field of artificial intelligence is crucial to ensuring more inclusive and ethical technological development. Gender diversity in AI teams not only promotes equitable representation but also brings a variety of perspectives and approaches that enrich the process of designing and developing algorithms. Encouraging women\u2019s participation in these areas is a matter of equity and of ensuring that technology is developed responsibly and responds to society\u2019s diverse needs.\u00a0\u00a0 At The Trust for the Americas, in addition to focusing on providing digital and life skills training to the most vulnerable communities to empower them in the world of AI, we have also focused our efforts on exploring new ways in which technology can improve people\u2019s lives. A clear example of this is our JET project\u2014a regional leader\u2014where we created the \u201cEmployment and Skills Monitor\u201d to identify labor market trends across 12 countries using deep learning algorithms and natural language processing, thereby informing local public policies in the Caribbean. I\u2019m fortunate to have a space like The Trust where we think about ways technology can improve people\u2019s lives. The potential of artificial intelligence and data to generate a positive social impact is immense. These technologies can transform how we address the most pressing social challenges, from health and education to the fight against poverty and climate change. AI can help identify patterns and trends in large datasets, enabling more informed and efficient decision-making. Additionally, it can automate repetitive tasks and free up human resources to focus on higher-value-added activities. However, it is crucial that this potential be harnessed in an ethical and equitable manner, ensuring that the interests of the most vulnerable communities are prioritized and that concerns about privacy and algorithmic discrimination are addressed. This is key for us at The Trust, where we focus on approaching technology and designing AI projects from ethical and transparent perspectives.\u00a0 Read the WIRED article: https:\/\/es.wired.com\/articulos\/ellas-son-las-mujeres-que-nos-protegeran-de-los-riesgos-de-la-ia-en-america-latina By: Valeria Tafoya, Artificial Intelligence Consultant, The Trust for the Americas<\/p>","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":11862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[139,140,141,142,143],"class_list":["post-2843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-equidad","tag-ia","tag-igualdad","tag-latam","tag-mujeres"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2843"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11863,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2843\/revisions\/11863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2843"}],"curies":[{"name":"well played","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
