I'm thrilled to share my experience as an expert with the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI), an initiative launched by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This journey has been both inspiring and impactful, as I work alongside brilliant minds from around the world to tackle some of the biggest challenges and opportunities AI presents.
Why GPAI Was Created
The GPAI was set up to address the rapid advancements in AI, ensuring these technologies are developed ethically and inclusively. It aims to:
- Promote responsible AI: Ensuring AI is used for good.
- Enhance international cooperation: Sharing knowledge and best practices globally.
- Support sustainable development: Using AI to solve global issues like health and education.
- Encourage innovation: Driving advancements while managing risks.
How GPAI Works
GPAI brings together experts from various countries, chosen by their governments, to collaborate on key areas like:
- Responsible AI
- Data Governance
- The Future of Work
- Innovation and Commercialization
My Role and Contributions
I’m honored to have been named a GPAI expert by Mexico’s federal government. I’m part of the working group focusing on AI for the future of work. We’re exploring how AI impacts jobs and creating strategies to ensure it benefits workers rather than displaces them.
Mini Internships for Latin America
One of the most rewarding projects I've been involved in is setting up mini internships for students in Latin America, including Mexico and Costa Rica. These internships teach students about human-centered design for the future of work. We’re partnering with Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Universidad de Colima, and Universidad de Costa Rica.
Students are interviewing workers to understand how they use AI at work. Based on what we learn, we’re developing new AI tools to support them better.
Innovation Workshop in Paris
As part of my GPAI role, I was invited to an innovation workshop in Paris. It was an incredible experience to meet and brainstorm with leading AI experts. The insights and ideas exchanged were invaluable, and I’m excited to bring this knowledge back to our projects in Latin America. In my next blog post, I will provide more details about the Paris innovation workshop and the exciting developments that emerged from it.
