Also, if there is no database, the system has no way to learn,\u201d said Rodr\u00edguez, who graduated in Physics from the University of Havana in 1978.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this regard, he commented that a more general culture is required on the subject and highlighted the formative role that the media could have in achieving this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that it is important to understand that AI does not pose a risk per se for professionals, but that public policies must guarantee the humanization of work instead of replacing human work with machines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cuba needs AI<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roberto Rodr\u00edguez, who has dedicated his professional life to digital image processing and analysis, is the author of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com.cu\/books\/about\/Procesamiento_y_an%C3%A1lisis_digital_de_im.html?id=ocVwrgEACAAJ&amp;redir_esc=y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>books<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on the subject and gives lectures at universities in the region, believes that, for Cuba, in the midst of an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncuba.news\/en\/tag\/crisis-in-cuba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>economic crisis<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the use of Artificial Intelligence in various sectors is a necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He insisted on the value of applied science in the modeling of economic, social and natural phenomena, as well as the projection of possible scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is so-called precision agriculture, which brings together different techniques and knowledge associated with AI. Using drones, plantations can be monitored and the moment when they need pesticides, water or other treatment can be detected. The savings are evident and the workforce is better utilized,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, he illustrated how valuable the application of the principles of the fourth industrial revolution or industry 4.0 would be, which includes integrating intelligent digital technologies in manufacturing processes, in the use of raw materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith appropriate technologies, in a continuous production of goods in a factory, defective products can be detected from the beginning and reincorporated into the cycle without having to wait for the final inspection, which generates an expense,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_308704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-308704\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncuba.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-308704 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncuba.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6516-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-308704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roberto Rodr\u00edguez in his office at the Institute of Cybernetics, Mathematics and Physics. Photo: Osvaldo Pupo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the feasibility of projects of this type, with high costs in their execution, the Cuban scientist responded that they must be designed with the idea of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">closing cycles or, in other words, that they are profitable to guarantee their permanence over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, he commented that in Cuba the application of AI has had greater possibilities and results in the public health system, due to the government\u2019s will. For example, as a researcher associated with the BioCubaFarma Group, during the pandemic he participated in studies dedicated to the training of automated systems to detect COVID-19 based on samples and images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For his participation in these investigations, he received the Cuban Academy of Sciences Prize in 2021, which was added to the one received in 2009 and the Carlos Juan Finlay Order (2013), the highest award given to scientists on the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Need for incentives<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodr\u00edguez affirms that one of the reasons why greater applications of AI in Cuba are not achieved in branches beyond health is the lack of moral and material incentives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBehind a researcher, a scientist, there is a father, a mother of a family, there is a human being with interests, tastes, that today are not covered. The economic crisis has an impact on this. It is a reality,\u201d he commented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think there is a solution. The best way is to look for a group of experts who live these realities, and who think about how to solve them. Not people from up high, but for the scientists themselves to propose what the solutions are, what are the ways to incentivize, to stimulate,\u201d he affirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This reality is taking its toll on the \u201ccritical mass\u201d of researchers, acknowledges Rodr\u00edguez, who has seen how his own center, fundamentally dedicated to this type of studies, has been left without specialists, with the consequent loss of lines of research and scientific results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen a young scientist tells you he is leaving for a master\u2019s degree or a doctorate, he does not return. People do not notice because we are not artists or athletes,\u201d he comments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is not only emigration that affects. Due to the low income they receive, many researchers, mostly young, prefer to leave their profession behind to work in other less complex and recognized but more lucrative ones, in the scenario of the Cuban crisis and salary disparity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this regard, Rodr\u00edguez shared with <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the story of a tutor, who alternates a study dedicated to solving a health problem with the sale of products on the Internet. \u201cAnd if I do not support her by offering her teleworking, she will leave. It would be a shame: she is an excellent professional,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_308705\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-308705\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncuba.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-308705\" src=\"https:\/\/oncuba.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SAM_6519-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-308705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rodr\u00edguez is the author of texts on digital image processing and analysis.

However, he remains hopeful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have shown that we can get out of the crisis if we are capable of thinking deeply and intelligently,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this sense, he praised the government\u2019s intention to create groups of experts to analyze problems but clarified that more active minds are needed. \u201cPeople with results in the last five years, with an active curriculum, not those who are called only for having prestige,\u201d he indicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodr\u00edguez considered that the application of science, with responsibility, could bring Cuba forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have to be capable of creating systems in which human beings do not have to intervene for them to be successful. That is how we win the fight against today\u2019s crisis. We have to encourage people to want to produce, without the need for a leader to go to the place to check what is done. We need an algorithm that does not depend on one person or another to work, but that does it automatically.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cuban physicist,
