Background
The Transportation and Telecommunications Commission of the Senate, with the support of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Chilean Telecommunications Association AG (Chile Telcos) and the Chilean Chamber of Digital Infrastructure promoted a Digital Transformation strategy: Digital Chile 2035. The initiative was built based on a participatory process that brought together representatives from the public sector, the business world, academia and civil society, all relevant actors in the country’s digital ecosystem. This strategy made it possible to prepare a diagnosis as a basis for strategic guidelines that help assimilate the challenges and opportunities resulting from rapid technological change. The Digital Chile 2035 Strategy is based on two pillars: Chile connected without gaps and Chile digitized.
“The first pillar, Chile connected without gaps, includes the set of initiatives, actions, programs and projects that guarantee access, use and adequate use of technology without differences or discrimination of any kind (geographical, social, income, gender, age, special abilities, etc.) by all citizens.” This is how, based on this strategy, the following components are defined: Effective Connectivity, Development of digital skills; Digital rights; Digitalization of the economy; Digitalization of the State; Cybersecurity; and Governance.
In this context, this keynote presentation aims to raise the different challenges we face in relation to the adoption of digital technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence.
