Vocal Media
March 26, 2021
At the beginning of March 2021, the fourth edition of the A.I. Index 2021 Annual Report, a comprehensive yearly analysis of the major transformations happening in artificial intelligence, was released by the Stanford University’s Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute (HAI).

This year, Standford University dramatically increased the amount of data available in the study, partnered with a broader range of external organizations to calibrate our data. It deepened relations with Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).

The A.I. Index Report monitors, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence, offering impartial, rigorously vetted, and internationally sourced data for policymakers, academics, executives, journalists, and the general public to gain insights into the complex field of A.I.

The report points to be the world’s most credible and authoritative source for data and insights about A.I.

The report authors include Daniel Zhang, Saurabh Mishra, Erik Brynjolfsson, John Etchemendy, Deep Ganguli, Barbara Grosz, Terah Lyons, James Manyika, Juan Carlos Niebles, Michael Sellitto, Yoav Shoham, Jack Clark, and Raymond Perrault.

We can see in the report that the top three industries with the highest A.I. adoption in 2020 were high-tech and telecommunications, automotive and assembly, and financial services, respectively, and the Top 3 countries with the highest A.I. skill penetration are India, U.S., and China, respectively.

The report points out also the ethical challenges of A.I. applications, exploring how A.I. transparency, explainability, accountability, and privacy are frequent themes in constructing ethical guidelines and frameworks.

According to the Deloitte AI Institute, this is the State of Enterprise AI.
Medium
October 27, 2021
I’ve just gone through the fourth edition of the Deloitte AI Institute’s “The State of AI in the Enterprise” survey.
It is impressive how it investigates the more profound transformations occurring within organizations using AI to drive value to understand what the most “AI-fueled organizations” are doing to drive success.
The report surveyed 2,875 executives from 11 Americas, Europe, and Asia between March and May 2021.
It explored how AI-powered organizations are using data as a resource to systematically deploy and scale AI across all types of core business processes in a human-centered manner.
This report helps us have a more accurate view of the leading practices aligned with the marketplace leaders across industries.
The report’s key findings help us understand how to overcome challenges to becoming an AI-fueled organization, regardless of the stage of AI transformation we are in, and primarily to assist those earlier in their transformation.

Building bridges between Diversity and Inclusion and Enterprise Data.
Medium
October 12, 2021
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace have been widely promoted in recent years, to the point where it may appear unnecessary to justify them further.
However, as we face a global crisis that may hinder these advancements, it is critical to remember that, rather than being a “luxury,” diversity can be the key to business resilience.
The development of diversity and inclusion policies brings many benefits, ranging from improved performance to a significant increase in innovation.
According to a recent survey conducted by global management consulting firm McKinsey, ethnic diversity within companies increased the likelihood of “superior financial performance relative to the local industry average” by an average of 36% in 2019.
Gender diversity yielded a similar result, with diverse organizations performing a quarter better than the local industry average.

Lawmakers approved the Foundations and Principles for A.I. in Brazil.
Medium
October 11, 2021
The Chamber of Deputies approved Bill 21/20 on Wednesday (29th), which establishes the foundations and principles for the development and application of artificial intelligence in Brazil and guidelines for the promotion and performance of public authorities on the subject. The issue will be referred to the Senate.
The House has outlined guidelines for developing and deploying A.I. in Brazil. In addition, the bill will regulate transparency regarding the use of A.I. in the public sector, encourage the development of A.I. for the public sector, and require the “adoption of regulatory instruments that promote innovation.”
To account for the already-integrated innovation in society and the regulations introduced by Artificial Intelligence, a structured view on rights, duties, and responsibilities is required.
According to the text, artificial intelligence systems are technological representations from information technology and computer science. It will be the Union’s private responsibility to legislate and issue rules on the subject.
Essentially, artificial intelligence works through programs used in computer systems, applications, or even machines to teach the program to perceive, interpret, and interact with the external environment, making predictions, recommendations, classifications, or decisions.

Ten years without Steve Jobs. What does it mean?
Medium
October 06, 2021
About a great innovator, a visionary genius, a master storyteller, and a brilliant marketing strategist.
Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, died on October 5, 2011, and the company is very different today. However, most of his ideas are still alive and kicking in Apple’s DNA.
I remember it like it was yesterday… October 4, 2011, when Apple released the iPhone 4s. There is an empty seat in the first row, reserved for Apple executives, with the “reserved” sign framed several times before, during, and after the presentation, perhaps to leave the hope that Steve Jobs will appear at the last moment.
But he doesn’t show up: he’s dealing with pancreatic cancer complications, or he’s already passed away, and the announcement was delayed so as not to disrupt Tim Cook’s first keynote as CEO.

The Terminator paradox
Amazon
April 30, 2021
Introduction
It was in a Cyber Café in Florence, Italy, when I met Mariana Verzaro for the first time. She had just moved to Italy in search of her Italian Citizenship and was looking to meet new people, make friends, and know more about the Italian culture.
I was working on one of the best cyber cafes in the area. The internet train had a lovely view of Ponte Vecchio, one of the best tourist spots of Florence.
The year was 2005, and we have been great friends since then, constantly changing our crazy experiences with each other.
I live now in Poland, working as an AI Evangelist in a significant company. I have a beautiful family; now, I am entering the windy and tortuous field of writing. All those written articles are transforming themselves into books.
Mariana Verzaro is one of the most significant sources of inspiration in my life. She has a degree in Fashion, a Postgraduate Degree in music therapy, and a master’s degree in Neuroscience. She is the creator of the "mverzaro" channel on YouTube. She talks about "neuroscience for everyone" and owns the company Círculo Produções.
She always had a tremendous entrepreneurial streak. At the age of 5, she set up a mini-movie rental company at home. At the age of 13, she was already planning and organizing events.
At the age of 16, she did an exchange in Brighton, England. At the age of 22, she moved from Sao Paulo to Cuiabá, in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and founded the first electronic music disco in the region. The extinct E-club was a landmark in the local electronic scene.
At the same time, she also set herself up as a fashion entrepreneur, opening the ". DOC." This multi-brand store worked with local brands. She was also a professor of Fashion History, Communication in Fashion and Photography for the fashion course at UNIC (University of Cuiaba).
At the age of 25, she moved to Europe, lived one year in Florence, Italy, and four years in Barcelona, Spain, where she improved her knowledge of the local culture and languages, in addition to gaining experience around events as a D.J., producer and artists management, she also worked with logistics for pilots and flight attendants for one important airline.
In 2009, she returned to Brazil and started to work as an artist manager and event producer with her company "Círculo Produções.".
Since 2012, she has also been dedicating herself to the academic area, conducting a postgraduate degree in music therapy in 2013 and a master’s degree in neuroscience in 2016.
In 2019 she graduated as a yoga teacher. In that period, I have invited her to take part as a speaker at The Artificial Intelligence and Design Thinking Conference in Wroclaw, which I have organized in Wroclaw in Poland.
She is currently a Ph.D. student in Neuroscience at USP’s Psychology Institute. She teaches psychology and works with researching different topics in neuroscience, including hypnoses, telepathy, and telekinesis, spirits, magic, religion, music, arts, fashion, yoga, and meditation. She is a digital influencer for the blog and vlog mverzaro and a respected speaker in neuroscience, technology, spirituality, Fashion, consumption, and an event producer and artist manager with her company "Círculo Produções.".
On my side, I have been exploring the concept of empathy in technology, especially in Cognitive Computing (Working on projects related to teaching humanoid robots to be as more empathetic as possible).
We started to write a series of articles where we shared free ideas and visions about empathy during a series of long virtual conversations (days of texting, endless WhatsApp audio messages, and hundreds of link exchanges) with Mariana be applied to AI in general. This topic has a constantly growing interest in the tech industry and our society during the last years.
Mariana Verzaro is an amazingly creative and qualified woman. As I mentioned, she graciously and competently navigates inside the universe of Neuroscience, Fashion, Music, Spirituality, and Anomalous Psychology.
While completing her doctorate in Neurosciences at the University of Sao Paulo, she has studied empathy applied to several contexts in Brazil.

Preface
Some people are afraid of science. They think it is like a weird, horrific monster, that it is complicated, out of reach, or goes against some principle. However, the reality is that science and logic are in everything.
In the love of a mother for her child, in the petals of a sunflower, in the pyramids of Egypt. Science makes us understand atoms, the universe and makes us see how amazing life is!
How many were not those who fought in search of discovering scientific knowledge! Descartes, Kepler, and many others who, with their conviction and persistence, sought evidence at a time when doing so were at significant risk of death, and many died from it.
The scientific method is to define an experiment so that anyone who tries to carry it out will get the same result. Making it clear here that we are not talking about quantum physics (in quantum physics, everything is possible, really).
There is no denying the importance of science in all aspects of our lives, especially in education, whether in critical thinking or teaching methodologies, and how it all transforms an individual. And when you change the individual, you change everyone.

Introduction to A.I., Robotics, and Coding (for Parents) A guide for Analog Parents with Digital Kids
Amazon
March 26, 2021
Technology is continuously present in every part of our lives and careers. It is increasingly present everywhere; it is even difficult to imagine life today without digital use.
The need for information in our world is constant and unstoppable during the last two decades. It is changing the world, as we know it, even when you are reading this article.
Being a parent in the information age is not just investing in our children’s technological devices and teaching them how to use them. It does not help young people know how to use the digital tool; we need to educate them about using it responsibly, ethically, and safely.
Our duty as parents is to guide the correct use of technology, showing the consequences of improper benefit for the individual and society.
Parents play an essential role in technology awareness but often feel lost amid so many innovations, without knowing the limits to be imposed, or even without actual knowledge of the dangers of uncontrolled exposure of their children.
Many parents are still confused about technology education’s roles, leaving school in charge and even fulfilling their duty.
Technology Education in the private sphere-moral and ethical values, the fair use of technology, and sustainability, for example, should be the responsibility of the family. In contrast, in the public sphere-methods, technology culture, and technical knowledge should be the school’s responsibility.
As parents, we are called upon to play our part as technology educators and not charge the school for the functions that should be ours. It is also important to remember that a happy and healthy childhood experience involves having our children freely express their opinions about any issues that directly affect them.

Purpose of this book
Covering the basics of AI, Robotics, and Coding, this book guide gives parents an up-to-date overview of how these technologies impact their children’s skills development and how they can be prepared for the job market future.
It examines educational, behavioral, and practical aspects of AI, Robotics and Coding, and how children interact with them.
It will also help build parents’ confidence when facing the digital era’s ethical challenges and navigate technological devices' potential pitfalls.

The focus of this book
This book helps explain difficult and potentially unusual concepts such as AI, Machine Learning, robots, automation, programming languages, and others, addressing parents on how to support their kids in their digital journey.

Audience
Written by a father of three young girls with a proven experience and knowledge in technology, innovation, Artificial Intelligence, automation, and Programming Languages, this book is for those parents who want to help their children make the most out of the emerging technologies today and for the future, as a perfect launch platform to discover what the future is reserving to us.

A.I. in 2020: A Year writing about Artificial Intelligence
Amazon
January 01, 2021
This book is a collection of the best articles I wrote in the year 2020 on artificial intelligence and was originally published on the Medium.com platform.

During this year, I have pursued a goal to share knowledge. I did much research, I studied a lot, and I had the opportunity to mature in the field, a series of knowledge related to the topics that I write almost daily and inspired by some people and some ideas, I thought it was appropriate to share as much as possible through an affordable, simple and straightforward language, sometimes complex topics related to technologies such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Analytics, and Autonomous Vehicles, among others.

It was a satisfying adventure, I must say. I received much positive feedback, lots of article views, lots of likes, retweets, and more on social networks and not less, some indications as a top writer, invitations to collaborate in some prestigious online publications. All this is truly motivating.

In this book, I collect all this, in the form of my best-published articles and now revisited, with some more insights, with a language more suitable for reading in the ebook format but always maintaining the main feature articles: simplicity.

Life is complicated enough. Every time someone tries to simplify concepts and knowledge useful to humanity, I believe this is an essential contribution to inclusiveness and equity.

This book is for anyone interested in Artificial Intelligence and understands some of the building blocks that form this fascinating technology.

The articles presented here explain simply and affordably some basic concepts that will inspire anyone who wants to learn more. This is a starting point. The road is very long.

Each article results from my knowledge in the professional field, research and development, and experiments searching for technical and methodological expertise.

This is not a collection that exhausts all the learning needs for anyone wishing to enter the AI world. Still, it is merely a collection of some scattered notes that make up some pieces in the great mosaic of technology.

Despite this, the articles presented here are beneficial to provide a visual introduction to some of the most important concepts that many of us face daily. They also give some pointers on how to go beyond the first step in search of much more. Just as Dante suggested:

"You were not meant to live as beasts, but to seek virtue and knowledge."

A Simple Approach to Define Human and Artificial Intelligence
Thinkers360
December 01, 2020
I recently started to follow an exciting and mind-bending philosophy online course at MIT called Minds and Machines. The course is a thorough, rigorous 12 Weeks Learning Path introduction to contemporary philosophy of mind, exploring consciousness, reality, artificial intelligence (AI), and more. It is definitively one of the most in-depth philosophy courses available online that I ever frequented. The first effect of starting study philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology is that I’m asking more challenging questions… the second effect is that I’m writing more about those questions. I‘m in this moment, exploring the relationship between the mind and the body, the capacity of computers to think, the way we perceive reality, and the perspective of the existence of a science of consciousness. As a first result, I’ve started to pay particular attention to one specific question that definitively has a lot to relate to my daily work as an AI expert: what is intelligence? In this article, I will explore human and artificial intelligence concepts to find relevant similarities and differences. A long time question… The idea of ​​building devices that could simulate the movements of living beings and particularly of humans in a completely autonomous way dates back to the Upper Paleolithic. The making of primitive dolls with movable arms was one of the first attempts to imitate living beings’ gestures. Archimedes was a master in this sort of new “art.” Fantastic literature, known today as science fiction, speculated that artificial sentient beings could be made. Robotics in recent decades has made science fiction a full-fledged science known as “artificial intelligence” or robotics. The purpose of these researches is to create a sentient being endowed with decision-making abilities and move at will — a sentient being and to a certain extent independent of human beings., but the real question here is… What is Intelligence? The term intelligence comes from the Latin intelligentĭa, which, in turn, derives from inteligere. This is a word that is composed of two other terms: intus (“between”) and legere (“choose”). Therefore, the etymological origin of the concept of intelligence refers to those who know how to choose: intelligence allows to select/choose the best options for solving a question. Intelligence is a set that forms all the intellectual characteristics of an individual, that is, the faculty of knowing, understanding, reasoning, thinking, and interpreting. Intelligence is one of the main distinctions between humans and other animals. Etymologically, the word “intelligence” originated from the Latin intelligentia, creating from intelligere, in which the prefix inter means “between,” and legere means “choice.” Therefore, this term’s original meaning refers to an individual’s ability to choose among the various possibilities or options presented to him. To choose the best and most appropriate opportunity, among the various options, a person needs to evaluate to the maximum all the advantages and disadvantages of the hypotheses, requiring this the ability to reason, think and understand, that is, the basis of what forms intelligence. Among the faculties that constitute intelligence, there is also the functioning and use of memory, judgment, abstraction, imagination, and conception. The concepts and definitions of intelligence vary according to the group to which they refer. For example, in psychology, the so-called “psychological intelligence” is the ability to learn and relate, that is, an individual’s cognition; while in the field of biology, “biological intelligence” would be the ability to adapt to new habitats or situations...

How Autonomous Vehicles will redefine the concept of mobility
Thinkers360
October 22, 2020
Autonomous vehicles are characterized by not having to deal with human limitations, such as tiredness and inattention. It is estimated that autonomous cars can create a 7 trillion dollar market. Beauty salons, dinners, and health clinics are services that can be performed inside the vehicles. The global auto industry expects to sell 59.6 million automobiles in 2020, according to Statista. The coronavirus pandemic has hit car sales, which were on track to reach 80 million in 2019. Autonomous vehicles may become a preferred target of virtual attacks, aiming to steal data or compromise systems. Autonomous vehicles have enormous potential to expand access to transportation, goods, and jobs in several cities. Launching a new mobility service with large-scale operations will involve fundamental consumer behavior changes. Transportation companies must manage their autonomous fleets based on intelligent technology and a high utilization rate. Autonomous cars will change the way the automotive industry makes money. The industry will changes a lot in the next 10 or 20 years with autonomous car technology development. Millennials no longer buy cars, especially in big cities, as they don't want to pay to park or deal with other problems. Autonomous vehicles will revolutionize the transportation industry in practically all areas. The number of owners will decrease, especially in large cities, concentrating on fleets. Workshops will change to carry out the maintenance required by new technologies. Service stations will need to adapt to supply electric recharging services. Autonomous vehicles are already a reality at its most basic levels of automation. Some actions are already taken regarding auto repair shops that can facilitate this transition. Some others will take time and depend on how fast the market Continue reading this article on Medium: How Autonomous Vehicles will redefine the concept of mobility
