Roadmap for Ethical and Sustainable Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)
- The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MinCiencias) has released a preliminary roadmap for the ethical and sustainable adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Colombia.
- The roadmap is divided into five main focus areas: ethics and governance, education, research, and innovation, data and organizations, innovative and emerging industries, privacy, cybersecurity, and defense.
- Ethics and governance are crucial for the successful implementation of AI systems in Colombia, ensuring respect for citizen rights and privacy.
- The roadmap also suggests establishing and strengthening the legal and regulatory framework for AI, addressing ethical issues, responsibilities, and rights related to its implementation.
- Education, research, and innovation are also crucial for the ethical development and implementation of AI.
- The roadmap suggests combining inclusive education with ethical support measures to address the impact of AI on disadvantaged groups and promote specialized research and development in AI.
- Data and organizations are another significant challenge, with the roadmap proposing cross-sector collaboration to create ethical and regulatory frameworks regarding data processing and governance.
- The adoption of Industry 4.0 is seen as a strategic opportunity for Colombia, but facing these challenges requires a joint effort and long-term vision.
- The roadmap also addresses the five main barriers to the successful adoption of AI in Colombia: limited availability of skills, high costs, lack of tools or platforms, project complexity, and data complexity.
