Latam-GPT: A Latin American AI to combat US-centric bias

Santiago: Move over ChatGPT — on Tuesday, Chile will launch Latam-GPT, an open-source artificial intelligence model designed to combat biases built by the primarily US-centric industry.

Developped by the Chilean National Center for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA), Latam-GPT uses millions of data points collected in Latin America to showcase the continent’s cultural diversity.

The program seeks to combat “prejudices” and prevent depictions of Latin America always “looking the same,” Chilean Science Minister Aldo Valle told AFP.
