Main Conference Day 2 - February 25, 2026

2:20 PM Case Study: Building AI Fluency & Trust to Support Scalable Deployment

Methanex is focused on driving the integration of intelligent chatbots across its 13 global plants, providing frontline workers the necessary information from different data sources to power intelligent decision making. The next step is an autonomous AI agent that is capable of responding to incidents without human intervention. This evolution promises to save up to 16 man-hours per incident, but the success of this strategy hinges not just on technical capability, but on workforce trust and AI fluency.

In this session Julio will share how Methanex is pre-emptively preparing its frontline workers, building a foundation for more resilient, scalable AI integration. He’ll outline the development of a cross-functional communication and training plan, dedicating a third of his time to ensuring employees are not only informed but empowered. With varying levels of exposure to AI across roles, targeted AI literacy programs have become essential to reduce fear, build confidence, and foster adoption.
