Mexico City, September 28, 2022.- Chapter 921 of Industrial Engineering and Data-Driven Innovation of the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad Panamericana, received Dr. Mauricio Corona, president of BPGurus, who gave the conference Artificial Intelligence and the Challenges in Engineering in the auditorium of the Panamericana.
The event brought together students and professors from Engineering as well as from other faculties and schools such as Communication and Pedagogy, among others, which opened the conversation to a more realistic understanding of what is meant by Artificial Intelligence.
Highly valuable presentation
Dr. Corona is an experienced IT(Technology Infrastructure Library) and ITSM(Information Technology Service Management) professional, considered worldwide as one of the top 25 thought leaders in technology and service management. He is also recognized as one of the 100 most influential people in IT service management by international media and is one of the major references in artificial intelligence and robotics in Latin America.
The objective of the conference was to provide a space for conversation about the different challenges that engineers face in the short and long term, as well as to explain the role of artificial intelligence in the new problems that require technological solutions, with proper resource management.
Likewise, the substantial and strategic value that industrial engineers contribute within a technological organization was explained, since they are in charge of gathering the organization's knowledge and making strategic decisions with a holistic vision.
Artificial intelligence in Mexico
During the conference, a call to action was made to those present to start creating solutions here in Mexico, arguing that any computer intelligence can be brought to our country, such as collaborative robots or technological resources, but if Mexican algorithms are not created, it will be useless to have these tools.
On the other hand, Dr. Corona gave recommendations on the approaches to the technological atmosphere so that it can be part of our days, and invited us not to label this type of infrastructure as something that will take away jobs; on the contrary, he pointed out that it will create new and better jobs.
He explained that while jobs that are repetitive would be the first where robotics would displace humans, this same shift would create technicians and trainers in such technology to make it more friendly to society .
The conference closed with a great number of questions, but above all, it motivated students and teachers to inquire about the challenges presented and to get down to work to create real solutions.
