Michelle Giuda Addresses the Council of the Americas' 54th Annual Washington Conference

In today’s interconnected global economy, infrastructure, digital capability, and a skilled workforce alone are not enough to spur advanced national digitization and market opportunity.

As Michelle Giuda pointed out during her panel at the Council of the Americas' 54th Annual Washington Conference, the key to advancing the business case in Latin America is not technology alone—it’s trusted technology, which will deepen diplomatic, economic, and technological partnerships.

Trusted technology brings a new era of global collaboration where cutting-edge tech is developed and exchanged based on democratic trust principles like respect for the rule of law, property, the press, human rights, the environment, national sovereignty, and practices rooted in transparency, integrity, and reciprocity.

These trust principles are crucial in shaping the emergence of AI regulations, legislation, and semiconductor innovation, driving investment and partnerships throughout the region. The opportunity for Latin America is exciting and it is now—today, in 2024.
