During the ceremony for honor graduates at Universidad Francisco Marroquín, Tyler Cowen delivered a speech underscoring the contemporary condition of humanity amid the advent of artificial intelligence as a profoundly transformative force within the professional landscape. He pointed out that, although this technological evolution may substantially enhance our material conditions and intellectual capacities, the trajectory of the future remains inherently indeterminate though in an encouraging direction.

I think we are truly in this revolutionary era in the best sense of the term.” — Tyler Cowen

Furthermore, Cowen emphasized that Guatemala’s economic prosperity has experienced remarkable growth over the past twelve years, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, positioning it ahead of many of its neighboring countries. He asserts that Guatemala has done better than other countries in Latin America, including the United States and China. In his view, a key contributor to this phenomenon is the Universidad Francisco Marroquín, which has played a pivotal role through the cultivation of leaders deeply committed to advancing the principles of liberty

You don't do leadership without dedicated people who adhere to ideas of liberty, promote them, and really devote their lives to that.”— Tyler Cowen

In conclusion, Cowen contends that Guatemala is both exceptional and distinctive, offering a compelling reason to remain optimistic about the country’s future. As well, he celebrates Guatemala’s recent achievements, affirming that this is an extraordinary moment and place in which to live.
