At the former Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco, Chancellor Roberto Velasco highlighted the urgency of discussing how to regulate AI, govern it and reduce its risks. He noted that Mexico supports the initiative of the deputy secretary general, “Artificial Intelligence and Human Development”, because it coincides with national priorities. “From the vision of Mexican humanism, the answer is ethical,” he stated.
Velasco cited Pope Leo He also reflected on what AI is doing with human beings and what we must rescue from our humanity as technology advances.
Government actions on AI and childhood
President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that discussions have already begun on the use of social networks and AI in childhood, adolescence and youth in Mexico. In his conference on July 20 at the National Palace, he highlighted these forums to develop a proposal “for guidance and regulation.”
“When we hand it over to Congress, let Congress itself make its forums open, its debate, its discussion, and that we can protect girls and boys from this that can become an addiction,” said the president.
Foreign Minister Velasco stressed: “The regulatory challenge that lies ahead of us is pressing and Mexico is ready to face it through our multilateral diplomacy.”
