Latin American industrial digital transformation

Overview

Industrial sectors across Latin America are navigating the integration of artificial intelligence and digital transformation, while facing significant workforce challenges.

In the Dominican Republic, logistics experts note that the primary hurdle involves strengthening internal processes and human talent to manage information exchange. In Colombia, the transition toward Industry 5.0 is hindered by a digital skills gap, with approximately 60% of the population lacking necessary competencies. Meanwhile, in Argentina, new ERP platforms are integrating AI tools to assist food industry professionals through natural language processing.

As the technological shift progresses, the focus has expanded to the growing gap between industrial needs and available talent in Chile and Peru. In Chile, the Association of Information Technology Companies is advocating for training pathways that allow students to recognize prior knowledge to adapt to rapid changes in AI. In Peru, labor shortages are acute, with 70% of employers struggling to find required talent and a projected deficit of over 600,000 technical professionals.

Recent regional efforts to bridge these gaps include forums in Chile and Peru focused on articulated training and the importance of human qualities like judgment and creativity. In Colombia, General Motors has supported engineering education by donating engines to Universidad ECCI in Bogotá to provide hands-on experience. Additionally, in Mexico, discussions regarding digital transformation in healthcare have highlighted the necessity of integrating AI and telemedicine with ethical, human-centered considerations.
