In recent years, there has been the gradual arrival in Latin America of a series of automated decision-making systems based on AI that were presented as instruments that provided an objective measurement element based on empirical evidence and scientific knowledge, for planning of effective interventions aimed at administering justice, reducing crime and contributing to public safety. Simultaneously, from expert studies on AI, there have been a series of warnings linked to its uncritical use; pointing out, for example, the problems of algorithmic biases and their intrinsic opacity. This panel will bring together presentations regarding the uses of AI in these fields, its scope, challenges and limitations.

Considering that there are very significant gaps in the connection, adoption and development of women in technology applied to public policy, this panel aims to reflect on specific cases and local experiences from a feminist and human rights perspective, not only on what biases are reproduced and are part of the AI algorithms, but rather what data is considered so that these algorithms can be applied. Some questions to be addressed in this regard are: what is the relationship between datafication and gender? What new critical interpretations of the datafication process are emerging? How do platforms shape discourses or determine decisions that affect women? What new narratives can inspire the rise of fairer technological systems and algorithms? What possibilities can digital technology offer for equality?

The changes resulting from the emergence of digitalisation in everyday life are key to understanding the environment that surrounds us: there is no social practice that can be analysed today outside of its links with new technologies. From this perspective, what can the social sciences contribute to studies on artificial intelligence?
The use of AI requires the development of new digital skills linked to the way of asking questions (prompting) or the way of interacting with it. This panel will include local research experiences related to access to public information contained in large databases, the collection of public data on social networks and the use of algorithms to make comparisons based on data mining or the construction of interactive visualisations.

Our daily lives are related to emerging technologies and the instruments we use are integrated into us, many of them, with the ability to interpret, decide and solve problems autonomously based on the signals they receive. It is then worth reflecting on the ethical consequences and impacts of the implementation of generative AI in different occupations, tasks and industries, evaluating the associated risks, analyzing good practices in their use and the perceptions of the actors in relation to those or others risks, to make public policy decisions based on evidence. This panel includes initiatives and experiences that contribute to a deep analytical view regarding the uses of AI, both at the individual or subjectivity level, as well as at the systemic, sociotechnical or so-called infra-ethical level.
