Global Center of Excellence: AI

The international conference brought together human resources leaders from Europe and Latin America to discuss how AI is redefining leadership, talent management and the evolution of organisations.

8 July 2026. DCH – the International Organisation of Human Capital Executives – held the 1st Meeting of the Global DCH Centre of Excellence: AI 2026 yesterday, an international online event that brought together human resources professionals from Europe and Latin America to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the people function and its role as a driver of organisational transformation.

The session was opened by Silvina Uviz, Human Resources Director at Microsoft, and Sebastián Fernández Silva, Chief People Officer at Mercado Libre, co-chairs of the Global Centre of Excellence: AI, who emphasised the need to promote a strategic vision of Artificial Intelligence that places people at the heart of technological transformation.

The keynote speech was delivered by Carlos Ángeles, Head of Training at Facthum AI, under the title “From HR operations to business architecture: How AI is reshaping regional HR leadership”. During his presentation, he explained how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the traditional role of Human Resources, evolving from an operational function into a strategic player capable of accelerating decision-making, generating greater value for the business and leading organisational transformation.

Carlos Ángeles then took part in a discussion with Magali Jarrin, Head of HR for Latin America, during which they both explored in depth the challenges posed by the adoption of Artificial Intelligence within organisations. The discussion focused on the skills that HR leaders will need to develop, the evolution of professional competencies, and the need to strike a balance between technological innovation, talent development and organisational culture.

One of the most interactive moments of the session was the open Q&A session, moderated by Sofía Martínez from DCH, which allowed attendees to share their concerns and discuss with the experts the practical application of AI in various business contexts.

In his closing remarks, Sebastián Fernández Silva emphasised that Artificial Intelligence represents an opportunity for Human Resources to definitively consolidate its role as a strategic business partner, leading transformation processes that combine innovation, efficiency and human development.

The closing address was given by Silvina Uviz, who emphasised the importance of continuing to create international forums for the exchange of knowledge, enabling the global human resources community to share experiences, anticipate trends and jointly shape the future of the profession.
