Paraguayan opposition senator Ignacio Iramain recently proposed regulation of the development of artificial intelligence, pointing out that there are risks in the advancement of technology without regulation.

According to Iramain, technology “is being controlled by a few global actors, which deepens power inequalities at the international level.”

The strategy proposed by the senator contemplates five key axes:

1. Regulation by risk levels: Refers to the classification of AI systems according to their potential impact.
2. Prohibition of indiscriminate biometric surveillance.
3. Citizen right to transparency: Citizens let people know when a decision was made with AI assistance and can challenge it before a human authority.
4. Public registry of AI systems: Create an accessible registry of artificial intelligence systems in use.
5. Protection of digital sovereignty: Strengthen the national capacity for control over the implemented technologies.

An analysis conducted in late 2025 by ESET, a leading company in proactive threat detection, highlighted the evolution of ransomware (data kidnapping) as one of trends to watch closely in 2026. This first quarter of the year confirms its importance, and the cybersecurity company analyzes the most attacked industries, which countries were most affected, the situation in Latin America, and the incidence of each group.

Topics of paramount importance and interest to both experts and cautious users who follow these incidents.

According to the ransomware.live report, the three groups that dominated the first quarter of the year were Qilin, The Gentlemen, and Akira, which together accounted for almost 900 victims, representing more than 30% of the total attacks (approximately 2,200).

Qilin ransomware took first place with more than 400 attacks during the quarter. This ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) group, which also held this position last year, took the professionalization of cybercrime to a new level, so to speak, by providing legal counsel to its affiliates to strengthen their leverage during ransom negotiations.

Second place, with almost 250 attacks, went to The Gentlemen. This RaaS group represents a new era: it is moving away from mass attacks to focus on tailored operations. A silent and far more dangerous model, according to ESET, that redefines the rules of the game with targeted and adaptive campaigns.

Akira completed this negative podium, with more than 200 attacks to its name, many in Latin America. Its spread was so widespread that it even put major cybersecurity agencies around the world on alert, including the FBI.

Regarding the industries most affected by ransomware during the first three months of 2026, ESET found the manufacturing, technology, and healthcare sectors to be the most impacted. Following closely behind were business services, construction, and financial services.

“What is clear is that cyber attackers do not choose their victims randomly, but rather seek out organizations where they can generate a strong impact or sense of urgency, whether due to the immediate need to have their systems available, because they cannot afford long operational downtime, or because they handle critical or sensitive information. Ransomware groups continue to focus on economic and reputational impact, targeting industries undergoing digitalization but demonstrating less maturity in cybersecurity,” says Mario Micucci, Cybersecurity Researcher at ESET Latin America.

Internationally, with more than 1,000 attacks recorded, the United States was the country most affected by ransomware during the first quarter of 2026. The countries that followed recorded only 100 attacks or fewer, such as Germany, Great Britain, and France. Canada completed the top five affected countries.

Regarding Latin America, Brazil (50 attacks) and Mexico (30) were the most affected countries, but incidents were also recorded in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, and the Dominican Republic

The first quarter of 2026 confirms the trend that ransomware is not a temporary or declining threat, but a consolidated and constantly evolving phenomenon. “The combination of highly active groups, new emerging actors, and increasingly targeted attacks demonstrates that the model remains profitable for cyber attackers. Looking ahead, the focus should be on how organizations can strengthen their prevention, detection, and response capabilities, especially in critical sectors and regions where cybersecurity maturity still has significant gaps,” concludes Micucci of ESET.

The meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, originally planned for March, will now take place in Beijing on May 14 and 15. The two leaders will discuss key issues such as trade, technology, security, and the Middle East conflict.

The two leaders met last October in South Korea. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, “the new date coincides with estimates that the Iran war could end within four to six weeks, although the Chinese government has called for an immediate cessation of attacks and warned that the conflict could spiral out of control.”

Another topic the leaders will discuss is “coordinating positions regarding the war in Ukraine, in an international context marked by geopolitical tensions and trade disputes.”

The US president considered the meeting “momentous” and indicated that he will later receive Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the White House.

WhatsApp will launch accounts for pre-teens supervised by parents or guardians in the United States, in order to limit their calling and messaging experience for their safety.

The accounts for children under 13 on WhatsApp, which will be implemented globally in the coming months, will be supervised thanks to a new strict application setting and parental controls.

The platform has stated that “these accounts must be created and actively managed by parents or guardians and must remain linked to their own WhatsApp account, a messaging app owned by Meta. Parents will need the phone they purchased for their family member and their own device, side by side, to link their accounts.”

Once this step is completed, the parent or guardian will be able to “control the account and decide who can communicate with it and which groups it can join. These adults can also review message requests from unknown contacts and manage the account’s privacy settings.”

Security measures include end-to-end encryption of conversations. Furthermore, the new parental controls and settings are protected by a parental PIN on the managed device.

Artificial intelligence is not exclusive to the technology or industrial sectors. It is used in everyday life to perform tasks in less time that previously could take hours.

Automatic document summarization

When it comes to summarizing materials for an exam, a work meeting, or a child’s homework assignment, AI offers quick summaries. Depending on the needs, apps and other tools such as ChatGPT, Adobe Acrobat with AI, NotebookLM, Resoomer, QuillBot, and Instatext.io, among others, can be used. They even help to research and organize lengthy texts.

Email management

It is one of the daily activities, not only in offices but also at home. Various tools allow you to compose and reply to emails in a few simple steps. Scheduling is one of the most appreciated features, as it ensures messages are sent and prevents confusion or forgetfulness. Some innovations include Lavender AI, which analyzes the tone, content, and objective of each message to suggest effective responses. Ellie AI, on the other hand, learns the sender’s writing style to generate responses that are consistent with it.

Automated calendars and appointments

Keeping a calendar can be stressful. But, the difference lies in using innovations like Google Assistant, Alexa, or automation platforms such as IFTTT, which create smart reminders, allow you to automatically add events to your calendar, and also sync appointments.

Automated meeting organization

Although manual note-taking is still common in meetings, recorders like Plaud Note or Mobvoi TicNotes are ideal for handling these tasks, as they record everything that happens in the meeting, transcribe and identify the different participants, create summaries, and answer questions related to what was discussed. AI offers tools that transcribe what’s said in a meeting, “and then generate summaries and key points that you can review faster than a full recording.”

Organizing trips and shopping

Automated travel and shopping planning avoids complications and helps establish the most convenient packages within a given budget. Chatbots like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot are very useful here, having become the best personal travel agents. For shopping, you can use various apps like Mealime and Whisk, or those available in the user’s country, to generate “personalized weekly menus based on your dietary preferences, allergies, nutritional goals, or ingredients available at home.”

Today the world celebrates International Women’s Day. In this context, the United Nations is launching the theme: “Rights, Justice and Action for and by All Women and Girls,” to raise awareness about remaining challenges in areas such as labor rights, healthcare, equal justice, access to information and education, recognition of achievement, security, and respect.

According to the UN, “by 2026, women will only have 64 % of the legal rights that men have worldwide. In fundamental areas of life, such as work, money, security, family, property, mobility, business, and retirement, the law is systematically unfavorable to women.”

Women still face everything from “harmful social norms to discriminatory laws. Women and girls continue to face entrenched obstacles, and even setbacks, in achieving equality before the law. If progress continues at the current pace, it will take 286 years to close the legal protection gaps. That is not a deadline; it is a surrender.”

The UN will celebrate International Women’s Day this Monday, March 9, and will focus on “equality before the law, deliberately coinciding with the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) (March 9–19).”

This intergovernmental forum will serve as a meeting point for representatives of Member States, United Nations entities, and civil society to negotiate conclusions on the theme of “Ensuring and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls, including by promoting inclusive and equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, and addressing structural barriers.”

Starting this Monday, March 9, Bancamiga opens the curtain on the Auction so that its individual and corporate clients can officially request foreign currency through Bancamiga Online.

With an innovative campaign spearheaded by Claudio Nazoa, highlighting the effectiveness of the first Masterdebit card launched in Venezuela, Bancamiga has begun a digital campaign across various media outlets to familiarize Venezuelans with this process, which is fast and secure at Bancamiga.

Under the scheme coordinated by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), the foreign currency will be approved by the BCV and credited to the client’s Digital Foreign Currency Account (USD) for electronic use with any Bancamiga Debit Card or by reloading their Prepaid Foreign Currency Card.

Get ready for the auction!

Upon logging into Bancamiga Online and selecting Foreign Currency Transactions, the Private Auction option will appear. Once the client begins the steps to create the foreign currency request order, the system will automatically initiate the opening of the Digital Foreign Currency Account (USD). After accepting the terms and conditions and completing the form indicating the requested amount and exchange rate, the request is finalized.

Once the foreign currency has been allocated, the client can use it immediately by linking their Digital Foreign Currency Account (USD) to any of their Bancamiga Debit Cards or by reloading their Prepaid Foreign Currency Card to make purchases, travel, or pay for services both within and outside the country. The allocation to the USD Digital Foreign Currency Account is done through Bancamiga Online or Bancamiga Suite.

If you’re looking for convenience, freedom, and secure access to your foreign currency, Bancamiga is your best option. Get ready for the auction starting Monday.

In its effort to offer clients solutions that minimize risk and strengthen its platforms, Bancamiga is advancing initiatives to create a safe and reliable environment, with a constant emphasis on awareness and individual caution.

Protect yourself from fraud!

Even with the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to safeguard the interests of clients and the bank, effective security requires active collaboration, where clients and the financial institution work hand in hand.

Direct Access, Virtual Lock, and ID Check are three of the most recent initiatives implemented by Bancamiga to enhance security.

With Direct Access, Bancamiga customers have an icon pinned to their desktop and taskbar, mitigating the risk of accessing pages with malicious links.

Installing Direct Access is very simple: log in to Bancamiga Online (www.bancamiga.com), enter your credentials and dynamic password. A pop-up window will appear; click “Install” and confirm. The shortcut will automatically be created on your desktop, with the option to also add it to the taskbar.

Virtual Lock is another tool that increases security by temporarily blocking the use of card data for online purchases, preventing unauthorized access. It is activated through Bancamiga Online or Bancamiga Suite before a transaction and deactivated upon completion.

Another initiative promoted by Bancamiga is ID Check, an extra layer of security with codes generated by the app for online purchases.

Bancamiga warns: Beware of fake websites!

Through informational campaigns, Bancamiga constantly promotes recommendations that emphasize proactive prevention and the use of its security tools.

Among its frequent tips are the following:

1. Type www.bancamiga.com directly into your browser.

2. Avoid clicking on links in emails, SMS messages, or search engines to avoid falling for fake websites.

3. Do not reply to or provide confidential information (username, password, CVV) via email, WhatsApp, or phone calls. Bancamiga never requests this information through these channels.

4. Keep the Virtual Lock closed when you are not making online purchases.

5. Activate biometric authentication (fingerprint or face) and 2FA in the app for extra protection.

6. Download apps only from official stores (Google Play/App Store).
7. Check your account activity regularly.

8. Use strong passwords (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, symbols) and change them regularly. Do not reuse the same password on multiple sites.

The recent summit in India for safer, more reliable, and more robust AI concluded with a commitment from more than 80 countries to address this technology from a collaborative perspective and to combat its misuse.

In this regard, many of the participating countries recognized the “need to respond efficiently to demands in various sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and natural resources.” Nations like the United States made clear their rejection of “any attempt at governance,” while organizations like the UN and other world leaders “called for viewing the tool under a collaborative and shared vision.”

They consider this approach key to building trust and maximizing economic and social benefits, according to the declaration signed by 86 countries and two international organizations, in favor of sharing the benefits equitably.

Among the related issues mentioned at the summit were “the advantages of multilingual translation with AI, the threats that this technology may pose to employment, and the energy consumption of data centers.”
