Cesar CantuMuch has been said about artificial intelligence’s (AI) potential to catalyze the next “great leap forward” in humanity’s technological and productive capabilities. Yet, not enough has been discussed about what the technology could do for regions like Latin America and the Caribbean, where potential has remained mostly dormant due to historical inequalities in the global economic landscape.
Richie Etwaru –a Guyanese tech entrepreneur and Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of spatial AI company Mobeus– put the idea in the minds of the Nexus 2023 audience: AI is an equalizer, and the Nearshore finds itself in a unique position, historically speaking, to make the best out of a level playing field.
Check out Richie’s keynote speech for 2023, in which he turned many of the dystopian predictions for AI on their heads, offering a hopeful yet sober vision for the Nearshore’s tech and economic future.
One of my favorite presentations that I experienced during NEXUS 2023, Richie is an excellent speaker and knew how to convey the message perfectly.
