About
I help Latin American institutions govern AI by looking at what usually gets left out: how it changes the identity and decisions of the people who use it and live with it.
AI does more than automate tasks: it changes how people see themselves, how they decide and whom they trust. Luciano Floridi puts it this way: digital technologies are technologies of the self. That is the side of AI I want to help govern.
I'm a psychologist (EAFIT) with a master's in engineering focused on AI ethics [HUECO: university and year]. I work in AI governance in the financial sector.
What I do best is build bridges: bring a framework or a person from abroad and put it in the hands of whoever decides here.
Two bridges
From Stanford to EAFIT
A framework and methods from Stanford.
My undergraduate psychology thesis at EAFIT, on the sense of belonging of scholarship students. [HUECO: year]
University leadership tailored its strategies based on the results.
From Cambridge to ICETEX
A global study on the pandemic, by Cambridge researchers.
We replicated it in Colombia with ICETEX students. [HUECO: year and role]
ICETEX understood its students better during the pandemic, and Colombia joined the global study.
What I'm thinking about now
- How to govern AI without losing sight of the people who use it.
- How to support those who consume AI-generated content without noticing, starting with our parents and grandparents.

If you research or make decisions about AI and people in Latin America, reach out. I'd like to talk and think together.
