As part of the Brazilian #artificialintelligence national plan, Brazil is going to invest nearly 4 Billion € equivalent in AI in the coming 4 years focusing on societal impact and responsible AI. I do not recall such a massive investment in a relatively short period on #digital #technology in Brazil. If spend cleverly it can also mobilize similar or even larger amounts of private sector investments. With this announcement Brazil indicates that it wants to catch up with other countries on the most important digital technology of this time.

In an unprecedented move, the city of Linhares in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, has made history by granting legal rights to a part of the ocean—the waves at the mouth of the Doce River. This groundbreaking law, passed in early August 2024, recognizes the waves as living entities, granting them rights to exist, regenerate, and be restored. For environmentalists and locals alike, this represents not only a legal triumph but also a significant shift in the mindset toward preserving natural ecosystems. The waves of Linhares are famous, especially among surfers, known for their tubular formations. However, over the past decade, these waves and the surrounding marine life have been severely impacted by pollution, most notably from the 2015 Mariana dam disaster. The collapse of the dam, which held back waste from an iron ore mine, released toxic sludge into the Doce River, causing widespread damage to aquatic ecosystems. The effects were felt for miles downstream, killing fish, plants, and other organisms, and disrupting the natural flow of the river—ultimately weakening the waves at its mouth.

TV 3.0: The Future of Digital Broadcasting Unveiled at G20 Brazil 2024. The possibilities of the upcoming era of open digital TV were showcased for the member countries present at the event. On June 11, the SBTVD Forum participated in the 3rd meeting of the G20 Brazil 2024 digital economy working group in São Luís / MA, conducting a demonstration of the features of TV 3.0, the new technology standard for open and free digital TV, which is being developed by the SBTVD Forum, with the participation of about 90 researchers from nine Brazilian universities, funded by the Ministry of Communications (MCom) through the RNP. It is expected that by 2025 the first broadcasts of TV 3.0 will begin, providing even more interactive content, through applications, with better image and audio quality and additional on-demand content for the general public. In a statement, the Forum asserts that “during the demonstration, it was possible to observe and experience some of the main features of TV 3.0: ultra-high definition video content, immersive and customizable audio, an application-based user interface, multi-device accessibility, and emergency alerts. These technologies will be available on free open TV, without subscription costs.” And it explains that the TV 3.0 demonstrations taken by the Fórum SBTVD to the #G20 were carried out in partnership with the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA), Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), National Network for Teaching and Research (RNP), Fraunhofer IIS, Mirakulo Software and V-Nova Ltd. #G20 #G20brazil2024 #sbtvd #sbtvdforum #tv30 #tv3

Had the honor of attending a meeting at the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) last May in Brasília, part of my visit to Brazil's capital. Engaging with the Coordination General for International Cooperation (CGCIN) and the Directorate of Institutional, International, and Innovation Cooperation (DCOI) was enlightening. As a Brazilian PhD researcher in Europe under Professor Prasad’s supervision from CTIF Global Capsule focusing on 6G Networks and Quantum Computing, witnessing Brazil's groundbreaking R&D initiatives was inspiring. The CNPq team shared valuable insights into international cooperation's potential in these fields. This experience broadened my understanding of Brazil's opportunities for scientific collaboration and highlighted the importance of global partnerships. Excited to contribute to these innovative efforts! Thanks for Itamaraty!!! #ScienceAndInnovation #6G #QuantumTech #InternationalCooperation #R&D #Brazil #PhDResearch #MCTI #CNPQ #Innovation #ResearchCollaboration #AI #QuantumComputing #brasileirosmundoafora #brasileirosnaeuropa #5G #researchandinnovation #ai #denmark #france #paris2024 #diversityandinclusion #diversidadeeinclusao #brasil #sdgs #sdgs2030 #engineering #higheducation

A new report from Coalizão em Defesa do Jornalismo, of which CPJ is a member, examines the challenges facing press freedom in Brazil during the 2024 municipal elections. The analysis reveals patterns of aggression online and offline that threaten journalism and pose a direct threat to democracy. It also found: - Social media was the primary space for the dissemination of violence digitally. X was the platform with the highest concentration of hostile discourse. - There was an uptick in targeted attacks on minority journalists based on gender and race. - Outside the digital environment, the report recorded 11 cases of physical or verbal violence against journalists, many of which were perpetrated by political or state actors.

I am pleased to share my recent interview with EXAME, where we discussed the approval of the "Bases" bill and its implications for Argentina under the Milei administration. In the interview, I explained that this bill is crucial for governance. Initially, there were doubts about whether Milei could govern and advance his agenda, especially with a minority in Congress. However, he has made progress with a bill that represents his program, allowing for two key pillars: an aggressive fiscal policy and the promotion of investments. Governance means confidence, which was reflected in the reaction of financial indices. The Bill still needs approval in the Chamber of Deputies, which is likely to happen. This will mark a new chapter for the administration, requiring improved management to deliver results for Argentine citizens facing an economic recession. You can read the full interview here:
