The 2nd Latin American Ethics Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as an instrument to discuss the pressing need for ethical considerations in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI. Brazil is a major player in Latin America and, as such, it is uniquely positioned to influence the discussions and development of ethical and responsible AI in the region. The conference brings together researchers from academia and practitioners, including decision-makers and industry professionals, from different areas of knowledge - computing, communicators, health and legal professionals, philosophers, etc. The event aims to promote dialogue and raise awareness among those involved about the need for development of practical and well-founded solutions for a more ethical, responsible and inclusive AI. The main motivation for the event stems from the recognition of historical trajectories shared between Latin American countries, which highlight the need to think of their own solutions to face this challenge. However, the event also recognizes the universality of ethical concerns in AI and that solutions developed for other countries can also contribute to the development of ethical AI at the regional level, thus promoting dialogue and discussion of problems and solutions by inviting participants from global groups to contribute to the dialogue. The event aims to help build local capacity for understanding and implementing ethical AI practices. Furthermore, by promoting inclusive discussions across cultures and perspectives, LAAI-Ethics strives to create a platform where solutions can be crafted and shared collaboratively.
