Abstract
This article addresses the phenomenon of the popularity of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although in recent years AI has received significant media and academic attention, especially regarding its potential, more debate is needed not only about its latent uses, but also about the ethical and legal dilemmas associated with its development and adoption among the public. This work aims to contribute to this discussion from a critical point of view. It is divided in V sections, "Artificial Intelligence and the current socio-historical context", which deals with the actual socio-historical context and its link with the popularization of AI. Subsequently, section II, “Artificial Intelligence: applications, capabilities and memories” presents a summary of the positive arguments, potential uses, and reluctance regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. The following section III, “Ethical and legal dilemmas of Artificial Intelligence”, discusses the main legal problems and considerations that have occurred in recent years with respect to artificial intelligence. The penultimate section (IV) provides a brief analysis of the potential challenges and benefits of the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America is. Finally, the section V, the conclusions, highlights the importance of addressing the development and use of AI systems and applications under ethical principles and comprehensive legal regulations.
