His intervention highlighted a key message: the sovereignty of the 21st century is disputed in data, algorithms and digital infrastructure, not only in physical territory.<\/p>\n<p>During his lecture, Dr. Tejeda Encinas warned of the growing risk of a new digital colonialism, in which the identity, culture and ancestral knowledge of Afro-Colombian communities can be used, processed and monetized without community control or return of value. He underlined the need for a strategy that merges two complementary strengths: the advanced regulatory method of the European Union and the robust recognition of collective ethnic rights that distinguishes the Colombian constitutional framework.<\/p>\n<p>His proposal was articulated in three fundamental operational tools:<\/p>\n<p>Habeas Data Etnico Operativo: recognition of the right of Afro-Colombian communities to the management, audit, control and benefit of their collective data.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Prior Consultation: adaptation of prior consultation to audit algorithms, review biases, determine ownership of intellectual property and guarantee tangible benefits before any technological deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Airbag: Algorithmic governance mechanism that automatically blocks discriminatory content generated by AI systems and activates mandatory human oversight.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tejeda Encinas highlighted that responsibility for AI always falls on the authors, configurators and supervisors of the systems, and never on the machine. Traceability, supervision and accountability must be non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>This intervention in Tumaco is framed in a decisive moment: the future Afro-Colombian University has the opportunity to position itself not as a passive user of external technology, but as a governing entity, auditor and producer of ethical-digital standards, building a model in which there is no technology without identity, and in which digital sovereignty is an effective community guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonio Tejeda | Ethnic-differential approach in digital public policies | Tumaco, Colombia Intervention by Dr. Antonio Tejeda Encinas, President of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1843,1841,1842,1845],"tags":[2160,1875,2357,2056,1998,2012,1862,2206,2173,2398],"class_list":["post-38617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","category-geopolitics-of-technology","category-innovation-and-tech-ecosystems","category-regulation-and-compliance","tag-algorithmic-governance","tag-antonio-tejeda-encinas","tag-bias-in-ai","tag-collective-rights","tag-digital-colonialism","tag-digital-prior-consultation","tag-digital-sovereignty","tag-ethical-artificial-intelligence","tag-ethnic-habeas-data","tag-universidad-afrocolombiana"],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38941,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38617\/revisions\/38941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
