According to an analyst speaking with Fox News Digital, the amazing potential of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a threat to widen the region’s already significant technology divide.

Albo-Canals Highlights Unequal AI Adoption In Latin America
According to a study by the International Data Corporation, the region has already adopted AI-powered technology to a regional average of 47%, with Brazil leading the pack with a usage rate of 63% across all economic sectors.
According to Forbes, a Colombian business developed a “question-and-answer” service for WhatsApp users that was powered by ChatGPT and apparently attracted 35,000 users in the first nine days after debut.
Albo-Canals, whose business seeks to assist in bringing disruptive technologies to enterprises from Latin America, Africa, and some parts of Europe, asserts that the ability to effectively utilize the technology and achieve its promise will play out unequally across the region.
Despite the fact that smartphone usage in the region is only somewhat lower than in wealthier nations, a 2022 survey revealed that 40% of homes in Latin America still lack fixed broadband, according to Bloomberg.
