Finally, three successful cases will be presented, led by Google, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, of practical applications of AI in different areas: the “Humboldt Cable”, which represented important advances in connectivity for Chile; “Plu”, a chatbot that offers AI tools for teachers and students, and the “Guacayama Project”, for monitoring, conservation and protection of the Amazon.
