Why is ILIA 2025 important?
The new report provides an updated overview of advances and challenges in AI in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on more than one hundred sub-indicators grouped into three core dimensions: Enabling Factors, Research, Development and Adoption, and Governance.

The launch event
The event will take place in the Raúl Prebisch Conference Room at ECLAC in Santiago, Chile, bringing together government authorities, representatives of international organizations, and leaders from the private sector and academia.

Preliminary program
The program includes the official presentation of the ILIA 2025 findings and three thematic panels:

  • Adoption: From Consumers to Producers of AI
  • Talent for the AI Era: Closing Gaps and Strengthening Capacities
  • Infrastructure: Data, Cloud, and Computing for a Sustainable AI Ecosystem

It will be a space for reflection and multi-stakeholder dialogue on how to harness artificial intelligence in the service of a more productive, inclusive, and sustainable future for Latin America and the Caribbean.
