Overview
- Business use is surging in hiring, with a Computrabajo survey reporting that 80% of Mexican companies already apply AI in HR, chiefly for screening candidates, evaluating performance and automating workflows.
- A Microsoft–Cornell study finds generative systems can perform up to 98% of tasks in some language-heavy professions, leaving roles such as translators, writers and programmers highly exposed to task automation.
- Legal consequences are now concrete as Argentina’s Cámara Penal de Esquel annulled a June ruling after detecting generative AI in the judge’s text and confidentiality breaches, while lawyers in Bahía Blanca trained on risk management and human oversight.
- AI now authors a majority share of new online articles in a sampled set, with SEO Graphite estimating 52% as of May 2025, though the firm notes AI-content detectors can misclassify human writing.
- Hardware adoption is accelerating, with Counterpoint Research tallying over 500 million GenAI-capable smartphones shipped by Q3 2025 and projecting shipments to exceed 1 billion by Q3 2026, as regions like the Basque Country push upskilling to bridge a 1,144-person AI talent gap.
