A recent opinion piece published in the Mexican newspaper La Jornada tackles a subject that’s increasingly on everyone’s mind: artificial intelligence, and whether anyone is truly steering the ship.
Columnist Pablo Gómez argues that AI technology is advancing at a pace that outstrips the ability of governments, institutions, and even the companies building these tools to keep it in check. The piece frames this rapid, unchecked growth as a kind of “descontrol,” or loss of control—suggesting that society is dealing with powerful new systems without the guardrails needed to manage their risks and consequences.
While the specifics of Gómez’s argument dive into political and social dimensions familiar to readers of Mexican opinion journalism, the broader concern echoes debates happening worldwide. From artificial intelligence’s impact on jobs and misinformation to questions about who gets to set the rules for these fast-moving technologies, the tension between innovation and oversight has become a defining issue of our time.
This kind of commentary reflects growing unease among writers, policymakers, and ordinary citizens alike: technology is moving quickly, but the frameworks meant to guide it responsibly often lag far behind.
For the full argument and context behind this perspective, we invite you to read the original column on La Jornada’s website.
