The talk entitled “Governança de Inteligência Artificial: Erros, Desinformação e Desafios Contemporâneos” will be presented (PT) on May the 16th, at 10:30, in room I-105.
Abstract:
In this double session, researchers André Lemos and Haline Maia explore, from critical and interdisciplinary perspectives, some of the main dilemmas that emerge from the growing presence of artificial intelligence in social, educational and informational life.
André Lemos focuses his presentation on the flaws and disruptions that run through algorithmic systems, discussing how AI can be not only efficient, but also precarious, uncertain and opaque. Through a socio-technical approach, he analyses AI errors as structuring elements of contemporary digital culture.
Haline Maia brings to the discussion the implications of AI in information ecosystems, with an emphasis on journalism and disinformation. Based on a study that combines participatory methodologies and ethical assessment of technological impact, she presents reflections on how to align technologies such as deepfakes and automated fact-checking with fundamental human values.
Each presentation will last 30 minutes and will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
The lecture is part of the research project Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Brazil and Portugal: Crossroads and Trends. Supported by CNPQ/MCTI/FNDCT 22/2024.
