Bibliography
These are the sources cited in the book. The rule is strict: only what could be verified appears here, and every concrete figure is attributed to its source. Where a fact is an estimate or a design decision, the corresponding chapter says so.

AI adoption in Latin America
- CEPAL (2024). AI penetration in Latin America below 4% (against more than 20% in Europe); in Brazil, 41% of large firms use AI versus 11% of small businesses.
