The future will be human, but not as we know it, nor anchored in the past
Carlos Miranda Levy
Coordinator of Impact, Innovation and Intelligence · CEMI
Carlos Miranda Levy is an innovation, technology, education, and social entrepreneurship expert with a career of more than 25 years spanning four continents. Trained as an economist, he founded CIVILA in 1996 — one of the earliest Latin American social networks — and was recognized by CNN in 2000 as one of the twenty most influential Internet leaders in Latin America. He has been a Digital Vision Fellow at Stanford University, Social Entrepreneur in Residence at the National University of Singapore, and a social entrepreneur incubated by the SINGA Foundation in France; recognized among Forbes’ “30 Business Promises,” he has received awards and fellowships from the Google Foundation, Gates Foundation, Reuters Foundation, and MIT, among others.
His defining professional contribution is the creation of replicable frameworks — systematizing innovation into models and methodologies that others can adopt, adapt, and scale. He has developed frameworks for applied AI across education, video and music production, business strategy, insurance and risk management, legal analysis, journalism, health, skills development, and engineering.
He currently leads CEMI.ai (Collectively Enhanced Multiple Intelligence) — a global collective built on the principle that human-AI collaboration produces outcomes neither humans nor AI can achieve alone. His signature frame — “What makes us different, makes us better” — captures the thesis that deep cultural and professional context is what turns generic AI capability into transformative application.
Fluent in Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese, he has made his home in Menlo Park, New York, Singapore, Paris, Port of Spain, Santiago, Tokyo, and currently Santo Domingo.
