  • At a regional summit, a Loymark-backed analysis found 78% of companies report using AI but less than 1% do so effectively at scale, citing isolated pilots, hype-driven decisions, and vague efficiency metrics.
  • Check Point Research’s RSA 2025 report details four AI-enabled threat vectors used by attackers: advanced social engineering, data poisoning, optimized malware creation, and malicious large language models.
  • Business leaders quoted by LA NACION emphasize reskilling and new hybrid roles as the World Economic Forum projects about 170 million new jobs over the next decade despite displacement risks.
  • Higher education is adjusting, with Peru’s UPC launching an Artificial Intelligence Engineering degree that includes access to three Google Cloud certifications and industry input from Google, Microsoft, BBVA, and BCP.
  • AI’s cultural and personal reach is widening, with virtual influencers and an AI-generated ‘actress’ entering entertainment, while a technology commentator says roughly 30% of couples use ChatGPT to navigate relationship issues.
