During the year 2025, the first studies began to appear with local figures about Status of development of artificial intelligence in Argentina. Summed up in two words: too much has been lost.
example: Latin American Artificial Intelligence Index (ILIA)which consists of three dimensions: enabling factors, research and development and accreditation, and It places Argentina behind Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Costa Ricaand put it back in the area.
Salesforce just launched too Global AI Readiness IndexIt evaluates 16 markets in which the company operates based on 31 indicators covering 5 dimensions. Index positions Brazil (18.0), Mexico (15.3) and Argentina (14.1) are well below the world average (22.1) In the general setting of agentic artificial intelligence. The United States (39.7) leads the ranking out of a total of 50 countries.
Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico are in the early stages of AI readiness, with significant challenges in adoption, innovation, investment, and human capital development. The results highlight a The urgent need for coordinated strategies among various actors in society And increase investment so that the region does not fall behind in the global race for artificial intelligence. Moreover, it is expected that Increase adoption of AI agents, working alongside humans, by 327% in the next two yearss, resulting in a 30% increase in productivity. Countries that are able to harness their potential will be better prepared to lead this next wave of digital transformation.
One way to narrow these gaps is through… Talent training and solution development Which continues to transform the provinces and the country into its digital matrix. In this context, the announcement made on Monday, as part of the annual AI Trends event, is significant. Re: Inventing AWS Celebration In Las Vegas this week where it was announced An investment worth US$48 million in Argentina To contribute to the development of artificial intelligence in Argentina in cooperation with the national government, with the strength that AWS has in being the largest cloud platform in the world.

Event Re: Inventing AWS 2025, With over 60,000 attendees, the conference focuses on the new era of AI agents and the infrastructure and cloud computing needed for this new era of generative AI.
Among the key announcements from AWS CEO Matt Jarman’s keynote speech, Amazon talked about a wallet with Four new models offer even better performance In terms of price-performance ratio for inference tasks, multimodal processing, conversational AI, code generation and agent tasks. They also opened The concept of “open training” that gives organizations access to pre-trained models And the ability to integrate first-party data with Amazon’s curated datasets.
Moreover, he announced AWS AI factories, through which they promise to transform existing infrastructure For customers in high-performance AI environments. Building high-performance AI infrastructure requires massive investments in GPUs, data centers, and power, creating multi-year timelines that distract from core business goals. AWS AI Factories delivers dedicated AWS AI infrastructure deployed directly in your data centers, combining NVIDIA GPUs, Trainium chips, AWS networking, and AI services like Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker AI.
The event continues until Thursday and will showcase more technical and business innovations with global impact for the new business scenario powered by AI agents.
