How will inventions related to autonomous agents equipped with Artificial Intelligence be patented?
There is no doubt that it is imperative to obtain a regulation of artificial intelligence patents that is aligned with the international movement and that truly guides examiners and users of the system.
The most “perverse” of sciences
"Because they offer a wide range of possibilities for studying the same phenomenon, and are subject to interpretative scrutiny by peers [...] it is common for these areas to experience greater rejection of funding proposals by funding agencies"
Even and odd
"We don't know, no one knows how to say, the consequences of this change in the government's (US) stance towards universities"
Brazil launches call to attract US researchers
"Once again, the country shows strength in academic research and weakness in research for innovation"
Beware of impactwashing!
"The last two four-year evaluations, especially the current one (2021-2024), will allow us to understand whether and what is being changed in the Capes evaluation model"
Classifications of a best scientist
“It is understood that the science of science is far from being exact, even though the indicators are used with a supposed accuracy and objectivity.”
Geographies, cartographies and prosopography of research (or, why we are like this)
"It is possible that we are still harboring feelings of inferiority and that we still see the global scenario from a third-world perspective."
Artificial Intelligence in science and technology: what do we have for tomorrow?
Sérgio Salles-Filho: "I don't remember an innovation with such rapid dissemination and impact as ChatGPT, which, launched at the end of 2022, immediately became a global reference"
Photograms about Brazilian research
In August of this year, the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and Clarivate released another report from this company on Brazilian scientific production[1]. The document, entitled Panorama of Changes in Research in Brazil, was sponsored by CAPES, the institution that oversees all postgraduate studies in the country and is the locus responsible for […]
Are you going now?
"After years without any industrial policy, Brazil places – in line with most countries, including the richest and most liberal past ones – this issue at the center of its development strategies."
