Within the framework of the permanent activities of Future Argentina ProgramThis week the meeting was held at Casa Rosada Women’s Hall with Shannon Vallor, philosopher and lecturer specializing in data ethics and artificial intelligence at the University of Edinburgh in England, where he participated on behalf ofINAP national director of Strategic Training Planning, Mag Julián Lopardo.
Vallor briefly explains the meaning and projection of artificial intelligence and its various types, the challenges of government, the impact of technology, the world of work, and the centrality of humans in each of these processes.

According to the place Argentina of the Future about construction as a cultural and political challenge of society and the State, the researcher argues that the risk is not with artificial intelligence but on who uses it, how and for what purpose.

Technological innovation involves more than algorithms, automation and enterprise: it cuts across all forms of personal and community organization. While advances in technology are tangible and impressive, they have a precise limit to their capabilities: these are tools, not threats. No artificial intelligence is comparable to human intelligence (which implies conscience, understanding, sensitivity, independence) also does not advance of its own free will: it is the people who decide the paths to follow and, therefore, are responsible for them.

While the algorithm is very powerfulopaque, not neutral at all (they promote values ​​and shape existing values), unpredictable and fallible we must not forget the fact that they continue to submit to human decisions. Restoring this analysis permanently should be a real concern for states and their political decision-makers, who must address the risks (technical, social and legal), develop knowledge and capacity for sovereignty, rebuild public trust, communicate properly with clarity and transparency, avoid dependence on big global technology companiesinvest wisely, keep the human factor in the limelight and bear the responsibilities and consequences arising from the use of technology in the region.

Meetings at the Salón de las Mujeres involve timely meetings and exchange rooms on topics completely relevant to all public administrations, whose training institute – INAP among them – works every day to democratize knowledge and anticipate trends in future scenario projections.

This scenario is inseparable from technology as a tool for workers, from their incentives, from the way they are associated with their knowledge and with efficiency in their daily tasks. Building a more just, plural and diverse present, with a federal and global perspective, requires the commitment of all citizens.
