In a meeting in Shanghai between the Ministers of Transport and Communications of Peru and China, Raúl Pérez Reyes and Li Xiaopeng, respectively, the topic of technological cooperation for its application in infrastructure was addressed, in addition to the strengthening of economic exchange.

The Minister of Transport and Communications of Peru, Raúl Pérez Reyes, highlighted in the meeting with his Chinese counterpart the commitment of his country “to generate an area of ​​cooperation between both countries and Chinese technology companies.”

Other topics that were also discussed are “digital connectivity and digitalization in future projects between both countries to strengthen economic and technological exchange.”

At the meeting, the creation of a joint mechanism with the Chinese embassy in Peru to resolve any incident involving companies from that country with solutions based on dialogue and friendship was announced.

Both ministers highlighted the importance of “signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between China and Peru, which serves as a practical guide to deepen the bilateral relationship. This agreement will not only strengthen trade, but will also allow progress in joint infrastructure projects in transportation, communications with the implementation of new technologies.”

Another aspect of equal importance, addressed at the meeting of ministers, was the importance of developing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Peru, taking as a model the Chinese experience in advanced technology applied in its cities.

Pérez Reyes made clear the interest of his country to adapt and apply in the local environment the solutions of the Asian nation to optimize the safety and efficiency of transportation in the country.

For his part, Minister Li Xiaopeng indicated that they will evaluate the possibility of the “arrival of Chinese planes to Peru, in response to the request of the Peruvian minister. This initiative would open a new door in trade and transport relations between both nations, connecting Peru with more international destinations.”

The use of new technologies in different sectors of life has promoted the concept, which is not new, of smart governments, marked by the development and adoption of tools that allow us to respond quickly and effectively to the requirements of the population. .

Artificial intelligence has a marked role in this evolution towards intelligent governments, since the applications, programs and functionalities that currently emerge are based on this technology.

The objective is to apply initiatives that allow the modernization of the economic, political, educational and industrial systems, to achieve modernization, and allowing the inclusion of all citizens.

Efficient management in the political and administrative sphere of governments is key on this path towards sustainability, leveraged by new technologies.

What characteristics does a smart government have? It is an efficient management system, capable of achieving effective results through “effective policies, based on data and evidence, to anticipate and resolve the demands of society, while promoting a competitive and attractive business environment for investment.”

Remarkable experiences in Latin America

The implementation of “intelligent solutions and applications to capture and process data, transforming them into important assets for decision-making” is another characteristic that is already observed in some Latin American countries, such as Chile, which has invested in AI to develop software with a microsimulation model of taxes and benefits that allows comparing and analyzing tax benefit policy scenarios on poverty, inequality and income.”

Another example can be seen in Colombia, which has a platform to visualize and analyze data with mathematical models aimed at understanding the complex relationships between the Covid-19 pandemic, the health sector, society and the economy.

Uruguay, on the other hand, is using a model to simulate the operation of an electrical energy system to help it plan investments and operate energy systems.

Currently, AI and blockchain technology are present in multiple processes that governments routinely carry out. Added to this are open source solutions, “which offer flexibility, scalability and resilience while maintaining high security standards and complying with different regulatory standards.”

To get an idea of ​​the benefits of the use of digital tools by governments, data from the World Bank can be cited, which suggests that this trend can help “reduce the large proportion of Latin America’s GDP (up to 4 %) that is lost due to inefficiencies in public spending.”

Smart governments seek to respond to current generations, and chart the path for future ones, with efficient, reliable and operationally consistent solutions.

On May 1st, Workers’ Day is celebrated. Nations remember labor demands, marches and declarations are organized, in a scenario marked by high unemployment rates, increase in informal work, use of AI to replace humans and pension reforms.

In January of this year, the International Labor Organization published its World Employment Report and Social Outlook: Trends for 2024. There it indicated that some 435 million workers would be looking for work in 2024.

In that document, the organization also showed that despite a reduction in the unemployment rate after the Covid-19 pandemic, “wages have decreased in most G20 countries, since positive results have not been possible” keep pace with inflation. According to the United Nations agency, the outlook is worrying and is unlikely to improve in the short term.

At a global level, the working force demands better salaries that allow them to cover their basic needs and escape precariousness. On the other hand, they request the creation of more jobs, taking into account that the world rate in this area could reach 5.2 % this year, according to the ILO report.

Low wages are widening the gap between the economic and social systems, marked by a worsening of citizens’ living standards.

The increase in the prices of goods and services and taxes, in addition to the conflicts generated by the restructuring of pension systems, keep workers on alert, who always end up at the least favored end of the production chain.

According to the ILO, one of the greatest challenges in the labor aspect is the equitable and fair transition towards a sustainable future, for which a greater effort by governments to improve the quality of life of the population through multilateral development funds is recommended. support for the most fragile economies, the creation of quality jobs, promotion of social inclusion, among others.

The use of new technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence, is not foreign to labor discussions. Currently, AI is seen more as a threat to the stability of workers than as a help, given that thousands of people are being replaced by humanoid robots or digital systems that automate production chains in minutes. In this sense, the working masses focus on the ethical use of AI, the protection of jobs through a reorientation of the use of this technology and the timely discussion of a method of inserting humanoid robots that does not harm the race. human.
