Summary
At the Google Cloud Mexico 2026 event, Google Cloud executives describe a shift in how companies use AI: from isolated experiments to agents embedded in processes (procurement, customer service), able to carry out actions connected to systems such as CRM or ERP. Abelardo Colunga stresses the need to define performance indicators before deployment. Armando Estrada reports that 87% of Mexicans already use generative AI and 44% use a personal AI tool at work, a "Shadow AI" phenomenon that raises governance and cost issues ("tokenomics"). Julio Velázquez discusses regulatory challenges, particularly in banking, and Google Cloud's engineering investment in Mexico.
