Embracing the future: a look at Mexican businesses transforming through Artificial Intelligence adoption

Mexico is witnessing a surge in the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by companies, driving a new era of efficiency and innovation across various sectors. By the midpoint of this year, half of all companies had an active AI training policy, a significant increase from just two out of ten at the beginning of the year.

Current AI models enable interaction with text, images, and voice in a comprehensible and accessible manner. This user-friendly technology is not creating a gap or inequity in the labor environment but rather fostering new opportunities for job creation and training.

The services industry, logistics, retail, manufacturing, food and beverages, hospitality, and restaurants have been early adopters, with over 65% of companies already using some AI-based tool. AI is utilized to optimize processes, reduce response times, and generate valuable data for decision-making.

However, traditional sectors like agriculture, construction, and parts of the public sector have shown slower adoption rates in AI integration. Conversely, healthcare, IT & telecommunications, and military/defense sectors exhibit higher adoption and growth rates.

The incorporation of AI is modifying the profile that Mexican companies require. Today, middle management uses AI-based tools to generate reports and make operational decisions, replacing spreadsheets or physical forms. In the human resources area, automated tools support recruitment and selection processes, enhancing efficiency without diminishing the need for human talent.

AI also facilitates faster learning, exploring ideas, and acquiring knowledge without requiring complex technical skills. This accessibility extends to common devices such as cell phones, computers, and tablets, making it available to people of different socioeconomic levels.

Companies are establishing principles of action, guidelines, and guides on where to use artificial intelligence and where not to, ensuring its responsible implementation while respecting confidentiality and privacy norms. Training becomes essential for employees using AI tools, as companies that invest in training their staff are reaping positive results.

ChatGPT and Gemini are the most popular AI tools in Mexico, particularly in the professional services sector. Mexican companies are turning to AI tools to improve their response capacity and adaptability, enhancing their competitiveness in the global market.

In summary, the adoption of AI by Mexican businesses is reshaping the landscape of various industries, boosting efficiency, and fostering innovation. By embracing this technology, companies are not only adapting to the changing times but also creating new opportunities for growth and development.
