AI: An Ethical Debate. 

Artificial intelligence may seem to have unlimited applications, but its risks cannot be ignored. These tools are only as reliable as the data they were trained on and the people who built them. Privacy, bias, and lack of transparency remain central challenges. As not only corporations but individuals integrate AI into their daily lives — and as reports of worsening prejudice and job displacement through automation multiply — the need to understand and establish ethical frameworks is urgent. What is the ethics behind AI? Who sets and enforces these principles? And how can these tools be used while respecting those who generate knowledge?

Guests: Dr. Mariel Zasso, Postdoctoral Researcher at SECIHT (Mexico’s Ministry of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation), “Alfonso Vélez Pliego” Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla, Puebla City, MX; Leonardo Aranda, Director, Medialabmx, and contributor, Latin American Observatory of Data Centers, Mexico City, MX; Ulises Ali Mejías, Professor of Communication Studies at the State University of New York-SUNY, Oswego campus, co-founder of Tierra Común, and co-author (with Nick Couldry) of the book “Data Grab: The New Colonialism of Big Tech and How to Fight Back” (published in English by the University of Chicago Press, and forthcoming in Spanish from Ediciones Godot), New York, NY.
