Nesta quinta, as 10h, vou dar uma palestra online aberta para a UFJF (onde fiz minha graduacao!) sobre Estudos críticos de plataformas, dados e IA: agenda de pesquisa para o debate a partir da América Latina. Inscricoes: bit.ly/44zVTkq

DataFolha: Entre quem conhece IA, 56% temem que tecnologia faça sua profissão sumir. Comentei essa pesquisa hoje na Folha de S. Paulo In Brazil, 56% of People Familiar with AI Fear It Could Eliminate Their Job, according to a new survey. www1.folha.uol.com.br/tec/2025/07/...

Really excited for this! Tech depends on global majority workers who are too often invisible. Uplifting their stories is a crucial step toward recognizing their impact, improving conditions, and supporting their aspirations for lives in which they can truly thrive…
