Peru is a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America
With an eight-point increase compared to 2024 in the use of generative AI, Peru ranks among the top Latin American countries in the use of this technology. 70 % of workers use this tool, particularly in the education sector
Recent data presented by the Adecco Group identifies Peru as a leader in Latin America in the use of generative artificial intelligence. The document titled “Making AI at Work – Work for Everyone” indicates that 70 % of workers use this tool in their work.
Generative AI has become indispensable in automation processes. In Peru, according to the Adecco Group, 62 % of the population believes that “this technology can have a positive impact on their workplace.” In fact, many job offers currently require knowledge in generative AI, according to Dr. Wester Zela, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Business at María Auxiliadora University (UMA).
“According to data from Bumeran, 57 % of Peruvian professionals use artificial intelligence in their daily work, which represents an increase of 8 percentage points compared to 2024.”
With this figure, the country ranks at the top of the ranking, above Argentina and Chile (55 %), Panama (40 %), and Ecuador (39 %), boosting business productivity and “allowing workers to focus their efforts on higher-value activities, thus enhancing their professional development.”
Faced with challenges such as specialized training in AI, technological infrastructure (computer centers), and data management and availability, “UMA is taking on a pioneering role: it is the first university in the country to offer an Artificial Intelligence Engineering degree, integrating AI components into all its degree programs and preparing its students for the technological demands of the future.”
The Peruvian educational institution takes on the challenge of training artificial intelligence experts to develop algorithms and solutions applicable to any sector. The dean of UMA affirms that all the degree programs offered “integrate AI components, because this is one of the fundamental pillars of our university for all professions.”
