About this book
This edited volume discusses the challenges of digital transformation in Latin America, specifically regarding the use of AI for government management in the public sector. This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners from the region to address the legal and regulatory frameworks needed to introduce AI into government processes, as well as the infrastructure requirements for successful implementation. It explores potential resistance from public officials towards technology adoption and ways to overcome it. Moreover, the book considers the digital divide that exists within Latin American societies, which may hinder access to AI tools for some citizens. It also discusses ethical considerations related to AI use in government processes, such as privacy concerns and algorithmic bias. Providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for Latin American governments, this volume will be of use to students and scholars interested in governance, public management, AI, and Latin American studies.
