Las tecnologías digitales y el comercio

Las tecnologías digitales y el comercio

Las nuevas tecnologías están definiendo nuestra manera de trabajar y de comerciar, creando oportunidades pero también riesgos. Las organizaciones internacionales pueden desempeñar un papel importante en la promoción de un marco reglamentario y normativo que fomente la implantación de tecnologías digitales avanzadas y, al mismo tiempo, reduzca los posibles riesgos. En esta página se ofrece un panorama general de los debates y las actividades sobre tecnologías digitales en la OMC y se proporcionan enlaces a recursos pertinentes.

Artificial intelligence

AI is a general-purpose technology that can adapt to a wide range of domains and tasks. It is reshaping global trade by lowering trade costs, facilitating regulatory compliance, and creating new opportunities for firms of all sizes. WTO Secretariat simulations suggest that AI could deliver significant gains for both global trade and GDP, provided that digital infrastructure, skills, and policy frameworks keep pace. Reflecting its importance, issues related to AI are being raised across several WTO bodies.

Blockchain

A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger of transactions in which records are stored permanently and are nearly impossible to alter. As it relies on a peer-to-peer network that no single party controls, blockchain offers secure, transparent, and verifiable record-keeping. In trade, this technology could transform processes such as customs documentation, supply chain tracking, payments, and contracts by making them more efficient, trustworthy, and less paper intensive.

Curso de formación en línea

Este curso en línea ha sido elaborado conjuntamente por el Centro de Comercio Internacional y la OMC. Se compone de cuatro módulos: 1) ¿Por qué la cadena de bloques?; 2) ¿Qué es la tecnología de cadena de bloques?; 3) ¿Cómo se puede utilizar la cadena de bloques en el comercio internacional?; 4) Aplicación de las cadenas de bloques al comercio.

Quantum technologies

Quantum technologies harness the principles of quantum physics to enable new capabilities in computing, communications and sensing. While many applications are still at an early stage of development, these technologies have the potential to transform industries and international trade. Quantum computing could, among other things, improve logistics and accelerate scientific discovery while quantum communications could enhance the security of cross-border information exchanges. At the same time, advances in quantum computing pose challenges for existing encryption systems, raising important questions about cybersecurity and digital trade. International trade plays a critical role in the development and diffusion of quantum technologies by facilitating access to specialized equipment, materials, expertise and services across borders.
