Company charges action of Latin American governments to ensure the presence of the region on the global map of artificial intelligence
All about Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (IA) has become a strategic pillar of global economic and technological development, but its advance depends on a still concentrated resource: computational power.
To the Nvidiaensuring AI sovereignty – that is, the ability to develop and use technology without depending on foreign infrastructure – is essential for countries to ensure their digital autonomy.
According to research from Oxford University, only 32 countries have sufficient scale data centers to support advanced AI projects.
Currently, 90% of these centers are in the United States or China, which raises the need for investment in local infrastructure to balance access to technology.
The importance of having advanced data centers
- Marcio Aguiar, director of Nvidia in Latin America, compares computational power to strategic resources such as water or energy.
- “Those who control this feature define where AI is trained under which laws, languages and interests,” says Aguiar.
- He points out that investing in local data centers generates direct return to the technological ecosystem of each country.
Brazil has budget, but lack urgency
In Brazil, the AI National Plan foresees R $ 20 billion in investments by 2030, but it is necessary to accelerate execution and use advantages such as renewable energy and ample territory to lead Latin America as a computational center.
Mexico and Chile also stand out: the first attracts investments by the geographical position; the second, for its clean energy matrix and regulatory stability.

Nvidia defends public policies and trade agreements that allow the global circulation of its technology, without barriers that favor only great powers.
For the company, it is essential to avoid new digital exclusion, where only a few countries concentrate control over AI and its economic, social and cultural impacts.
“AI cannot be a monopoly of few. It needs to be born in various contexts to benefit the whole world. This is not just technology – it’s about the future of nations,” concludes Aguiar.
