The spaces of the National Network Node for the Development of Sovereign and Secure Software, installed at the Simon Bolivar University (USB), Miranda state, have three rooms for the training and training of students in strategic areas such as artificial intelligence, software security and technological development with a sovereign approach.

This was confirmed by the Sectorial Vice President of Science, Technology, Ecosocialism and Health, Gabriela Jiménez Ramírez, on a tour of this node, which, as she explained, is the largest in the entire country, after the one installed at the headquarters of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MINCYT).

Minister Gabriela Jiménez Ramírez highlighted, according to a MINCYT press release, how artificial intelligence is transforming processes, especially in the diagnosis of cancer, thus stressing the need to develop local capacities to avoid relying on foreign systems.

“What we have to do with these academic spaces, with these technological investment spaces that President Nicolás (Maduro) wants, that will allow us to strengthen our abilities and abilities to develop what the country requires, so as not to adopt any foreign system (...) for Venezuelan data to reside in Venezuela, because we have to accompany data privacy, data security, data auditing, transparency of the data of Venezuelan citizens and this is essential in terms of sovereignty,” he said.

It is important to highlight that the National Network for the Development of Sovereign and Secure Software (S3), implemented by the Bolivarian Government through the MINCYT, seeks to strengthen spaces dedicated to innovation and the support of human talent in the search for the nation's technological independence.
