Mexico Launches Public AI Training Center as Alicante Forum Presses Ethics and Sustainability

Officials pair rapid skills training with guardrails for corporate use, data risks and energy‑hungry models.

Overview

  • Mexico opened registration through December 6 for a five‑month program starting in January 2026, offering hybrid instruction via SaberesMx across 10 TecNM sites and online access nationwide.
  • The first cohort will include 10,000 learners with dual certification from public institutions and technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google, IBM and Meta.
  • Authorities outlined 20 specialization tracks across five areas—AI, data analysis, cloud, Java and cybersecurity—with plans signaled to scale cohorts and extend to more campuses in 2026.
  • In Alicante, the IV European AI Forum highlighted local deployments and the city’s bid to become an innovation hub, with the mayor calling for a code of ethics, regulation and a “digital welfare” framework.
  • Speakers warned that decentralized corporate AI use heightens legal, data and reputational risks and urged research into energy‑efficient “green” models, while local firms reported AI gains such as a 20% cut in absenteeism and up to 15% less food waste.
