Mexico’s development in artificial intelligence (AI) is “very low”, but with “enormous” potential, Marcio Gomes de Aguiar, director of corporate sales in Latin America for Nvidia, told EFE this Tuesday, which will have its largest plant of ‘superchips’ in the country.
“In a very positive way (the development of artificial intelligence in Mexico) is still very low, but there is enormous potential for Mexico by increasing the number of researchers, the number of software, accelerated by GPUs (processing units). “There is enormous potential,” he declared.
Gomes de Aguiar participated in the panel ‘Challenges and opportunities of megatrends: Industry 4.0 and sustainable development’ at the annual meeting of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers of the United Mexican States (Concamin) in Nuevo León.

Its participation caused expectations because Foxconn, the largest electronic products assembler in the world, announced on October 8 that it is building a plant in Mexico that will have the largest production of servers equipped with GB200 chips from the American Nvidia, the second most valuable company. of the world.
The manager mentioned that the low development of AI “is normal” and that happened with other countries where the technology later began to grow.
He pointed out that it is difficult to know how long it will take for artificial intelligence to be consolidated in Mexico, but it is growing alongside global evolution.
“It is growing very quickly at the levels of other large nations and is not behind. “It is accompanying global evolution,” said the specialist.
Gomes de Aguiar spoke about the application of generative artificial intelligence in fields such as health, predicting that it will impact people’s retirement age, as well as the quality of employees and manufacturing.
“Another megatrend is in the area of health and that brings enormous benefits to the entire society. All scientists, biologists are resorting to artificial intelligence techniques to bring new vaccines, new medications, that will impact here the age at which people are going to retire, it will impact the quality of employees, of the manufacturing,” he said.
He also cited that they have had “many success stories with large companies around the world where, through computer vision techniques, they bring many better concepts to improve the entire manufacturing, manufacturing, and distribution journey.”

Alejandro Preinfalk, president of the Mexico 4.0 Commission: Innovation and Digitalization and general director of Siemens Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, also participated in his panel; Fernando Ángel González, general director of Cemex, and Francisco Suárez, director of Public Affairs and Strategic Relations of FEMSA.
