Computing workers to debate AI and declining salaries in Argentina

The Asociación Gremial de la Computación (AGC) is organizing a regional meeting in Chaco, Argentina, to address the evolving landscape of the computing sector. Key topics for discussion include the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market, technological sovereignty, and the future of employment.

Data presented by the organization indicates a significant decline in programmer earnings, with the sector's salary ranking dropping from fifth to 14th place within a five-year period. Carlos Azcona, the AGC's NEA regional delegate, emphasized the need for professionals to acquire new tools and achieve qualitative leaps in their careers to adapt to rapid technological changes.

The event will feature national and international experts and includes the presentation of the book ‘La comunidad en la era de la inteligencia artificial’ by Luis Gote, which examines how technological advancement affects social structures and communities.
