A medida que la IA generativa adquiere un papel más central en la creación de conocimiento, esta sesión reúne a destacadas voces de América Latina y Europa para explorar la equidad en el conocimiento, la soberanía informacional, la representación lingüística y la adopción responsable de la IA en la educación y la investigación.

Juntos, reflexionaremos sobre cómo las instituciones, el profesorado y los responsables de políticas públicas pueden construir futuros impulsados por la IA que sean transparentes, inclusivos y arraigados en las necesidades y los sistemas de conocimiento locales.

As generative AI takes on a more central role in how knowledge is created, this session brings together leading voices from Latin America and Europe to explore equity in knowledge, informational sovereignty, linguistic representation, and the responsible adoption of AI in education and research.

The relationships built at OEGlobal conferences don't end when the closing session wraps up.

"I had opportunities to meet with colleagues with whom I've remotely worked for YEARS, so being able to meet them in person has been surreal and amazing," shared an attendee.

"I loved sitting down at lunch on the last day, and someone goes, 'we want to start an instructional design community of practice,' and universally everyone at the table said, 'YES! We're in!' It was such a creative and energetic moment that showed me that we are a collective of people who have similar goals and aspirations," shared an attendee.
Connections made at OEGlobal 2026 continue on OEGlobal Connect — our community platform — so the collaborations forged this October stay active through the year and beyond.
