The last 24 hours of AI in Brazil: from data scarcity to advancement in companies

The last 24 hours have been intense in the Artificial Intelligence scene, with a series of important developments that reveal both advances and challenges. Let’s explore the main events that are shaping the future of AI in Brazil and around the world.

Brazilian AI gains global prominence

One piece of news that deserves to be highlighted is the partnership between Ascenty and WideLabs, which will bring Brazilian AI solutions to the international market. The differentiator? Amazônia AI, a language model that operates 100% with clean and renewable energy, respecting the LGPD. The solution will have access to 500 data centers globally, demonstrating that it is possible to combine technological innovation with sustainability.

Innovation in agribusiness

In Paraná, a century-old cooperative surprised by developing its own AI tool. Frísia has integrated ChatGPT into its internal processes, showing that even traditional institutions can reinvent themselves with technology. The initiative is expected to expand to serve associates in 2025, facilitating access to operational reports and financial analyses.

Data scarcity alert

A troubling topic has emerged in a Epoch AI Institute projection: In just 4 years, we could face a shortage of data to train AIs. The volume needed to train new models could equal all the publicly available text on the internet by 2029, a scenario that is already motivating companies to look for alternative solutions.

Revolution in education

In the education sector, the Geekie demonstrates how AI can transform learning. With 12 million students impacted and a presence in 630 schools, the company plans to grow 20% by 2024. Among the new features is an AI system for automatically correcting discursive questions, showing how technology can help teachers with repetitive tasks.

Regulation moving forward

In the regulatory field, the American states are taking the lead in creating rules for AI. California, Utah and Colorado already have specific legislation, focusing on transparency and protection against discrimination. It is a movement that may influence future regulations in Brazil.

Conclusion

The current scenario reveals a moment of profound transformation, where Brazilian companies are beginning to stand out globally while we face significant challenges, such as the potential scarcity of data. The key to the future seems to lie in the balance between responsible innovation and sustainability.
