Recognizing AI’s dual nature as both an opportunity and a challenge, the Permanent Mission to the OECD and the OECD Development Centre propose a webinar to foster dialogue between academia and policymakers on the specific role that AI can play in strengthening the social contract in Latin America. The event will explore how AI can empower citizens, improve transparency, and reinforce trust in public institutions, allowing societies in the region to actively shape AI as a tool for democratic engagement rather than passively adopting it.
