This book analyzes the potential benefits of using artificial 
intelligence to surpass traditional social and economic problems in 
Latin America, but it also looks to understand the perils and barriers 
derived from the adoption of this technology. This volume is divided in 
*Section 1. “Considering AI in the private sphere”* that debates about 
the employment of artificial intelligence from the citizen’s 
perspective. It embraces topics related with the introduction of AI in 
the media and the labor market, and how Latin Americans perceive, engage 
and mobilize before the rising presence of AI in their daily lives. 
*Section 2. Challenges and promises of AI in the public sector *centers 
on the ethical and legal controversies triggered by the incorporation of 
artificial intelligence in the public sphere. It focuses on the 
promising benefits of introducing AI in the public administration, 
education and public security, but also the latent impacts on human rights.
