The potential of digital technologies cuts across these areas of concern and will very likely be considered in the measures, plans, and policies that states take up in the context of the summit, both at the national level and through regional cooperation. Yet, when harnessing the potential of emerging technologies, their challenges also surface."
"Yet, when harnessing the potential of emerging technologies, their challenges also surface. For example, AI algorithms can help predict demand peaks and manage energy flows in real time on power grids, but the infrastructure required for the growing and massive operation of AI systems itself challenges to energy security. In Latin America, the imperative of safeguarding rights in the face of already documented risks and ha"
Heads of state and governments of the Americas will convene in the Dominican Republic for the Tenth Summit of the Americas under the theme "Building a Secure and Sustainable Hemisphere with Shared Prosperity." More than twenty civil society organizations released a joint contribution addressing the intersection between technology and human rights.
