Latinx individuals experience artificial intelligence through a distinct cultural lens shaped by familismo, personalismo, and spirituality — both as risk and protective factors.
Cultural Factors in Latinx Artificial Intelligence
- Familismo: Strong family orientation can be protective but also create pressure around artificial intelligence disclosure
- Machismo/marianismo: Gender role expectations affect how artificial intelligence is expressed and help-sought
- Fatalismo: Cultural acceptance of fate may affect belief in artificial intelligence treatability
- Acculturation stress: Navigating between Latinx and mainstream cultures creates unique artificial intelligence stressors
Culturally Responsive Artificial Intelligence Care for Latinx Communities
Effective artificial intelligence treatment respects familismo (involving family when appropriate), addresses language access, and integrates spiritual dimensions when relevant.
