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 Improvement Coordination announced […]
Are you going now?
