A voice from Chilean youth is calling on Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders to promote the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for inclusive and sustainable development. The 32nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting was held from Friday to Saturday in Gyeongju, the Republic of Korea, under the theme "Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper." Raquel Herrera, a young resident from southern Chile, said in a CGTN social campaign that her country's focus on sustainability, renewable energy, and ocean protection aligns well with APEC's goals. "As a Chilean, I know that my country is deeply focused on sustainability, renewable energy, and protecting our oceans, which is really important to me as someone who lives in the southern area of Chile near the sea. So from my point of view, this topic really suits Chile's own priorities, including making connections through trade, innovation, and the use of clean economies," said Herrera. "In my hometown, in southern Chile, I think the industry that needs to be developed the most is technology and digital innovation, focusing on helping local businesses to become more efficient, sustainable, and connected with the global markets," Herrera continued. Herrera said APEC economies could collaborate on renewable energy, digital transformation, and smart management systems to help countries like Chile grow in a more inclusive and environmentally responsible way. "Through APEC's cooperation, member economies could share their experience in areas like renewable energy, technologies, digital transformation, and smart management systems. Mutual investments in digital infrastructure and green innovation could also help my hometown grow in a more inclusive and environmentally responsible way," said Herrera. Herrera also expressed her hope for shared standards and investment in green and inclusive technologies to ensure that AI is used fairly and transparently. "AI is transforming the way we work, we communicate, we study, and also how we make decisions. But it also brings ethical, environmental, and social challenges. We must have international cooperation to ensure AI is used fairly, transparently, and sustainably without deepening inequality or harming our planet. And it comes to my mind, things like setting some shared standards and investing in green and inclusive technologies, so APEC members can make AI a tool for progress," said Herrera.
