The country has great opportunities for growth with President Claudia Sheinbaum's Plan México, recognized Carlos Slim Domit, president of the boards of directors of América Móvil and Grupo Carso, who also confirmed the conglomerate's investment in Mexican territory.

When inaugurating México Siglo XXI, the annual meeting of the Telmex-Telcel Foundation scholarship recipients, the businessman recalled that the strategy of the current federal government "has as its pillar promoting public, private and mixed investment to reach levels of 25 to 28 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and thus generate growth above 4 percent."

At the forum, attended by businessman Carlos Slim Helú, father of Slim Domit, the latter pointed out that the consortium he heads continues to make heavy investments to guarantee that Mexico has the most competitive telecommunications infrastructure, in a context that he defined as a “change of era” marked by artificial intelligence.

The businessman highlighted that technological advances will rewrite social and economic rules, as happened with the printing press, electricity and the Internet, but with unprecedented speed and significance.

Regarding artificial intelligence, he pointed out that the question is not whether this technology will replace jobs, but who will know how to take advantage of it to analyze data and generate solutions with principles and values.
