Abstract

Purpose: To analyze and document the case of the Alliance to Promote the Development of Digital Capacities in Mexico as a space that promotes the linkage and transfer of knowledge supporting the development of technological capacities in Artificial Intelligence.


Methodological Design: The article is built under the assumption that Artificial Intelligence can be a tool which supports convergent science, if the adoption and transfer process is modeled based on a socially meaningful construction; for those who develop it, especially for those who will be its final users.


Results: A case is presented which shows how the strategies followed by the different institutional actors that conform the Alliance promote the design of applications linked to Artificial Intelligence, such as data and image analysis, using servers, training, and certifications.


Research Limitations: This is a single case study; therefore, it would be worthwhile to comparatively analyze how these types of alliances behave in other locations.


Findings: The way in which references, and knowledge are woven to build an alliance whose purpose is to develop and transfer Artificial Intelligence technology from the perspective of convergent science is shown. Among the findings is documenting a triple transfer process where linkage plays an important role that has allowed different institutional actors to build bridges that have facilitated interaction with others. The way in which the research groups have acquired tools to transfer the results of their projects to vulnerable groups is also documented.

Rebeca de Gortari Rabiela, UNAM

She dedicated the first twelve years of her academic activity to teaching at the FCPS of the UNAM, in subjects specific to her specialty, after obtaining a doctorate in Comparative History of Contemporary Societies, in Paris. From his full-time incorporation into research, without neglecting his teaching practice, he combined studies around History, Sociology and Anthropology. It is committed to generating a commitment between the social and the academic, with which it contributes to the formation of the new generations of students with that vision. The analysis of groups, associations, institutions, companies or even government instances, have allowed him to know their trajectories and dynamics of knowledge in different periods and times of contemporary Mexico, to distinguish the possibilities of collaboration and innovation and of construction or transformation of their Frameworks. Maintains a constant concern in the transfer, exchange and appropriation of knowledge from and between companies, organizations and academia, with a vision of management strategies in the face of globalizing changes, or in the face of national, local and regional exchange, considering the large and small technologies and innovations. He has a vast production in book publications, articles, book chapters and notebooks; some of his articles were published in international journals. Likewise, he shares his findings in national and international academic events, and in academic stays in other countries.
