Santo Domingo hosts the summit on artificial intelligence ethics

The Dominican Republic hosted the Third Ministerial and High-Level Authorities Summit on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence for Latin America and the Caribbean, organized by OGTIC, UNESCO and CAF in Santo Domingo.

What was discussed

Delegations from more than 20 countries debated regulatory frameworks for AI, the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence in classrooms and teacher training. The meeting turned the Dominican capital into the regional reference point for a debate that until recently seemed reserved for the most developed countries.

Why it matters for the country

Hosting the summit places the Dominican Republic at the center of the conversation about how the technology already transforming education, health and public services will be used. Local universities and organizations take part in the discussion on predictive models and personal data protection, issues that will define the rules of the game for the coming years.

The practical takeaway

The ethics of artificial intelligence is not a distant debate: the decisions made now will affect how Dominican citizens’ data is used in education, banking and health. The first citizen step is to stay informed and demand transparency about the systems already part of daily life.
