Artificial intelligence is no longer a promise of the future: it is an active and powerful tool that transforms the economy, work, education, health and our daily relationships. But, in the midst of amazement and innovation, a key question arises: How do we humanize a technology that seems to advance faster than our ability to understand it?
Humanizing AI does not mean making it human, but integrating it into the service of humanity. It represents providing its developments, uses and purposes of ethical meaning, social values, and a purpose that benefits people, instead of replacing or monitoring them. This implies designing systems that respect human rights, which are transparent, inclusive, explainable and culturally contextualized.
One of the most urgent steps to achieve this is to democratize knowledge about AI. It is not enough that a few experts develop it, butIt is necessary that society as a whole can understand how it works, what it is for and how it can be used.
Therefore, from the Argenia Foundation We promote the creation of accessible training spaces for teachers, public officials, businessmen, professionals, workers and young people, articulating with universities, local governments and other relevant social actors.
The socialization of learning is based on three axes:
* low -cost access and financing to courses diigital education;
* Construction of communities of local practice,
* generation of educational tools based on AI own to reach more people.
Public policies have a key role. To this end, we propose three concrete strategies:
1. Mass education in AI with humanistic approach, from school to the professional field in all its disciplines;
2. Collaborative governance of technology, through which developers, governments, citizenship and social organizations define together the uses and limits of AI,
3. Development of generative, open and regulated platforms, such as “Municipalities” GPT “Let AI at the service of local citizenship.
For many workers, AI represents a threat. But, also, it is a historical opportunity to rethink the value of human work. Creativity, empathy, ethical judgment and the ability to build community remain irreplaceable. AI should not compete with these values, but enhance them.
The human role is the guide, counselor and decision maker. Who designs, trains and uses AI must assume an ethical responsibility: each technological tool embodies a vision of the world and we must ensure that this vision is fair and supportive.
Currently, the most frequent user profile is that of young professionals, students and knowledge workers, especially in urban areas. However, growth is exponential. In regions such as CABA, Córdoba and Santa Fe there is already a deeper penetration, but the territorial digital gap is a real threat. Therefore, from Argenia Foundation We promote the development of local nodes that bring AI to rural municipalities and remote communities, thus covering the entire national territory.
The strategy of the Argenia Foundation It is based on building a social infrastructure for AI and not just technological. We want artificial intelligence to be a lever for human, economic and democratic development. That is why we work on four levels:
– Ethical training and technique in AI.
– Construction of public tools and community.
– Articulation with the State, The educational system and civil society.
– Generation of public policies that regulate with a vision of the future.
AI may seem like an impersonal system, but those who create, train and regulate are people. Humanizing AI means addressing its processes with the vision of the human being in the framework of the interdisciplinary dialogue, ethical commitment and citizen participation. Starting from the realization of national days, we bet on the creation of a Nationalist, ethical and social observatory of technology and AI, which works as a space for monitoring, proposal and permanent training.
In the next 12 to 24 months we propose:
– Train more than 5,000 public leaders, teachers and entrepreneurs with ethical approach.
– Provide the “GPT Municipalities” program in more than 100 locations.
– Establish at least 10 “Argenia communities” premises that promote territorial innovation in the matter.
– Prepare, together with allied institutions, a proposal for the ethics and governance law for the implementation responsible for AI in Argentina.
The future is not written by the machines, but by the decisions we make today. Artificial intelligence must be, above all, a tool at the service of collective intelligence and the common good.
