Overview

  • European demand for AI projects surged over 200% last year while specialized talent covers only 40% of roles and Spain alone had more than 30,000 unfilled AI and data positions in 2024.
  • Only 6% of Mexican workers receive AI training under clear corporate policies and 42% of Argentine professionals report inadequate preparation by their employers.
  • The International Energy Agency forecasts that AI data centers will account for 3% of global electricity use by 2030, prompting President Trump to secure $92 billion in US energy infrastructure agreements.
  • Public-sector pilots such as Buenos Aires’s Boti chatbot and Mendoza’s drone-based waste detection have yielded significant time and cost savings.
  • The EU’s new anti-bias AI regulation took effect this month and BRICS forum delegates have urged multinational cooperation on governance to address ethical and security risks.
