Grand Challenges of Computing in Brazil 2025-2035
Keywords:
Ethics in Artificial IntelligenceSynopsis
This book presents a detailed analysis of the main challenges and opportunities for the computing sector in Brazil over the next decade, from 2025 to 2035. These challenges were identified during the Grand Challenges in Computing Seminar, held in November 2024 by the Brazilian Society of Biological Sciences (SBC), with the participation of more than 80 researchers and industry representatives. The book is divided into chapters that range from a detailed description of the main challenges to recommendations for various sectors, including the public sector, industry, and academia.
