Research identity, not only degrees
IA-PUCP’s publications and CONCYTEC recognition put PUCP in Peru’s AI conversation as a producer of methods, not only a consumer of cloud APIs.

Hybrid MT for Amazon languages is the distinctive Campus Future hook: AI that serves linguistic plurality instead of erasing it.
