Large companies and startups accelerate the race for AI in Brazil: discover the main movements

The last 24 hours have been eventful in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) scenario in Brazil and around the world. As someone who closely follows technological transformations and has worked with hundreds of startups, I can say that we are experiencing a historic moment of acceleration in the adoption and development of AI.

Let's analyze the main movements that are redefining the market at this moment:

Tech giants step up investments in AI

Apple is close to reaching a $4 trillion market cap, driven largely by its AI bets, as reported by Your Money. It’s no coincidence – in my experience with corporate innovation, I’ve noticed that companies that anticipate emerging technologies tend to capture value exponentially.

Microsoft is expanding its 365 Copilot beyond OpenAI, according to the Digital Look. This movement resonates with something I have always defended: the importance of technological diversification and not depending on a single supplier.

Brazil advances in AI regulation

THE Economic Value reports that the AI Bill is advancing in Congress. As someone who actively participated in the construction of the Legal Framework for Startups, I can say: this is a fundamental discussion for the future of innovation in the country.

National innovation and research

It is inspiring to see the work of the Santos Dumont Institute, mentioned by UOL. The view that AI does not replace, but complements the human brain, aligns perfectly with my experience in training technology talent at Inteli.

Strategic sectors in transformation

The entertainment industry is being revolutionized by AI, as pointed out by matter of the Earth. In agribusiness, the Exam highlights How Taranis is expanding the use of AI in crop monitoring.

Reflections and next steps

As an entrepreneur and educator in the technology field, I see that we are at a critical moment. The race for AI is accelerating, and Brazil needs to position itself strategically. In my experience coordinating innovation programs, I have realized that success comes from the combination of three elements: smart regulation, investment in education, and connection between the market and academia.
