Imagine being able to understand how artificial intelligence is shaping our society, from linguistic nuances to ethical implications. The University of São Paulo (USP), through its Department of Computing and Mathematics (DCM) at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP), offers a free course that explores exactly these topics. This course is a unique opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of AI and its intersections with mathematics, law, and language.

USP has opened registrations for a free course on artificial intelligence (AI), ethics, and information, aimed at undergraduate students in Law, Computing, and Mathematics.

The course is in-person and will take place on the Ribeirão Preto campus, in Room 500 (DCM Auditorium), always on a Thursday each month, from 10 am to 12 pm, between August 22 and November 21, 2024. Registrations must be completed online by July 29.

Professor Dionéia Motta Monte-Serrat, a postdoctoral researcher at DCM, is responsible for teaching the course. With extensive experience in the field, she promises to address crucial and contemporary topics, such as the characteristics of the linguistic-cognitive structure, the definition of artificial intelligence and its applications, and the impact of AI technologies on law and ethics.

According to the professor, the course is not just an introduction to the topic, but also a space to discuss complex and controversial issues related to technological advancement and its social implications.

Course Schedule:

August 22 – Characteristics of the Linguistic-Cognitive Structure: Understand how language and cognition interrelate, forming the basis for the understanding of AI systems.

September 19 – What is Artificial Intelligence: A detailed approach to what constitutes artificial intelligence, its capabilities and limitations.
October 24 – What is Information: Truth and Value versus the Discursive Layer of Language: An exploration of how information is processed and interpreted, focusing on the difference between truth and value.
November 21 – Law and Artificial Intelligence under Sustainable Ethics: Discussion on the legal and ethical implications of AI, focusing on how current legislations adapt or fail to keep up with rapid technological development.

As disclosed by USP, the course aims to provide a deep and critical understanding of artificial intelligence technologies, addressing their theoretical and practical bases, as well as their ethical implications.

The initiative is particularly relevant at a time when AI is increasingly present in our lives, influencing everything from communication to legal decisions.

Furthermore, the course offers a platform for debates and reflections on how AI can be developed and used in an ethical and responsible manner.

According to Professor Monte-Serrat, “it is essential that future professionals in law, computing, and mathematics understand the complexities and responsibilities associated with the use of AI, especially in terms of ethics and human rights”.

To enroll, interested individuals must access USP’s website and complete the online registration form by July 29. Spots are limited, so it is recommended that interested individuals register as soon as possible to secure their participation.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese companies are sharing factories in Brazil to avoid import taxes, reduce costs, and use the country as a production base to sell cheaper in the domestic market.

Chinese automaker launches the Avatr 06T electric wagon with 955 hp, up to 1,250 km of range, and a three-motor system, betting on a version with a range-extending turbo generator to extend long journeys and compete in the premium EV segment.

Experts say that China and Europe should join forces to reconfigure the global order, strengthen UN-centered multilateralism, and expand cooperation in trade, technology, and climate amid the US withdrawal and the advance of a multipolar world.

China did what no country managed by reversing large-scale desertification, and now the world admits it needs to copy these techniques before billions of hectares of soil turn to dust.

US-UK company launches for the first time liquid-fueled ramjet projectile from a 155mm NATO howitzer, reaches 150 km at Mach 3.5 and promises to extend precision firepower at lower cost and without modifying existing platforms
