Artificial Intelligence and Tourism: Keynote Speeches

 

Javier Vega In his presentation, he outlined the pros and cons of tourism and the need to implement sustainable and respectful tourism measures. Vega highlighted the "incredible potential of tourism to contribute to peace, introduce us to different cultures and traditions, foster mutual respect, and promote local economies and sustainable development."

 

For its part, Juan carlos alonso Nolasco He wanted to convey to young people "what they will face when forging their future in relation to Artificial Intelligence, what they can expect from new employment options, and how they should train," always with the goal of building a better world in mind. "Your future is a total social change," he told them, "the complete automation of numerous work areas, something that 99 percent of the population is not prepared for." 

 

 And while robotization and automation "may be scary," I assure you it will give you the opportunity to reinvent yourselves, and can even be used to achieve peace and a more just society. "AI can help optimize resources, anticipate natural disasters, or prevent conflicts."
