Chile's Young Voice at APEC 🤖
At the 32nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju, South Korea, leaders gathered under the theme Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper. But beyond the big speeches, a fresh perspective emerged: young changemakers sharing their hopes for the future.
Chilean delegate Raquel Herrera is all about making artificial intelligence (AI) a tool for progress. She sees AI not just as cool tech, but as a game-changer for work, communication, and creativity. The catch? Unsustainable or unfair use of AI can widen gaps and harm the planet. Raquel wants:
- Clear rules that keep AI decisions open and honest 🤝
- Solutions that lift communities and protect nature 🌱
- Global teamwork so no one is left behind 🌏
Sound familiar? In South & Southeast Asia, from startups in Mumbai experimenting with AI-powered health apps to design studios in Jakarta crafting smart city tools, the call for responsible tech echoes loud and clear. It's about making sure innovations boost lives, not just profits.
As APEC members move from ideas to action, Raquel's message rings true: let's shape AI that drives inclusive growth and sustainable change. What do you think? Drop your thoughts and keep the convo going! 🚀
