Tekax Hosts Community Forum to Shape Yucatán’s AI Agenda

Residents, experts, and leaders from Tekax gathered for the First Citizens’ Forum for Situational Diagnosis in Artificial Intelligence led by Secihti.
The event, organized with Tekax municipal government, brought together over 100 participants from Yucatán’s southern region to address various local challenges.
Discussions centered around health, education, service access, connectivity, data management, cybersecurity, and agricultural and commercial development.
Secihti director emphasized the importance of developing tech-based solutions based on community-identified needs for regional development.
The forum aims to incorporate citizens’ perspectives into AI strategies to meet real regional needs rather than top-down priorities, as noted by Tekax mayor.
Attendees identified priority challenges and explored applications of AI in improving education, health, and public services.
Forum outcomes include a preliminary diagnostic of key regional needs as well as initial agreements for continuing collaboration and follow-ups.
The event represents part of an ongoing state strategy to implement participatory forums across Yucatán to tailor an innovation and AI agenda based on specific regional needs.
