AI engineering adoption in Mexico is reshaping teams and driving real business value, from automating 80% of recruitment to analyzing 23 terabytes of rail project data. Recorded in Mexico City, this episode of the Scaling Tech Podcast features founders, engineers, and researchers discussing how companies are moving beyond “proof of concept” to “proof of value,” with use cases spanning civil engineering, healthcare, and more. Guests also explore how developers across Latin America are evolving from coders to architects and why the human touch remains essential in the age of AI.
