The Future of Education in Colombia

In The Future of Education in Colombia, organized by PRISA Media Colombia, educational leaders and innovators gathered to explore the transformative role of technology in shaping the nation’s educational landscape. This event provided a platform for thought leaders, including Younes, founder of LiveTech.AI and adjunct professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, to share insights into the critical role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education.

Younes highlighted the importance of Colombia developing and hosting its own AI models locally to ensure educational sovereignty and cultural integrity. He emphasized that adopting foreign AI models carries the risk of embedding external cultural values and perspectives into Colombia’s educational system. By creating proprietary AI systems, Colombia can better reflect its unique values, ethics, and social dynamics within its technology.
During his presentation, Younes also addressed how AI has already demonstrated the capacity to support educators by reducing daily workloads by at least 2-3 hours, allowing them to focus on higher-value teaching activities. This improvement in productivity is part of a broader AI-driven vision for education that can address local challenges while respecting national cultural and ethical standards.
LiveTech.AI’s recent visit to Colombia served as a strategic opportunity to engage in discussions with Colombian leaders about the potential value they could unlock with AI, while underscoring the necessity of local AI development for sovereignty. This event has set the stage for further collaborative efforts toward a future where education in Colombia is both technologically advanced and culturally aligned.
