Dear NoC colleagues: I’m pleased to share our report “AI and US-Mexico Relations: The Future(s) of Work <https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/ai-and-us-mexico-relations-futures-work>” co-authored by Armando Guio Español, Cristina Martínez Pinto, César A. Uribe, and myself. The report was developed as part of the new AI Policy and Governance Initiative at the Center for the U.S. and Mexico at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, and also reflects our ongoing collaboration with the Global Network of Centers. The report is based on perspectives shared by AI experts from the United States, Mexico, and other Latin American countries in our group’s inaugural symposium on “AI and the Future(s) of Work” in February 2025. The report identifies a series of critical challenges and opportunities for regional collaboration in AI and automation research, development, and policymaking, and explores ongoing shifts in U.S. AI regulatory policy and recent changes produced in the Latin American workforce by generative AI. We look forward to any comments and opportunities to collaborate on related topics! Please feel free to learn more about growing initiative here <https://www.bakerinstitute.org/ai-policy-governance>.
