Abstract

This essay examines how artificial intelligence (AI) has become a tool of global domination that profoundly affects human security. Through a multidimensional approach, one which encompasses economic, personal, community, political, food and health aspects, it analyses how AI reproduces historical inequalities and reinforces new forms of power. The article identifies four threat vectors: geopolitical bias, the technological supremacy of the Global North, the use of AI in hybrid conflicts, and the privatization of security through algorithms. It highlights how Latin America faces a double condition of vulnerability: digital dependence and institutional weakness. In addition, it warns about the erosion of fundamental rights in the use of opaque automated systems. Finally, it argues for the urgent need to build regional technological sovereignty grounded in ethical frameworks, local capacities, and democratic regulation.
