Reflections on the Conscious Use of Technology
I have observed how some modern technologies participate in our environment and had some insights about what would be the proper use of these tools. It is easy to see that some tools can be used well or poorly; the elementary example is the knife, an object that emerged in the early stages of humanity, […]
The accessibility of neural networks to the public: possible uses and advances
It is nothing new that neural network and machine learning tools have been in the hands of the qualified public for some time, as “challenges” have been carried out for years, where their own AI is compared to the performance of online players ( here ), but with computational capacity more than doubling in shorter […]
A student’s perceptions amid the popularization of Artificial Intelligence
With the popularization of tools such as GPT chat, google Bard, and several other generative AIs, the student’s daily life has been changing a lot; after all, having an extensive list of potent tools in easy access could not fail to generate significant impact. Repetitive activities that previously took hours now take minutes, allowing us […]
About not believing in your own eyes

The evolutionism of machines is increasingly being discussed in society, since as time goes by, technology is advancing more and more in such a proportion that people start to raise questions such as: will we have flying cars in the future? Will robots be living with us? Will cars be fully autonomous? Will artificial intelligence […]
The Need for Governance in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been generating intense debates, either because there are divergent understandings of what the term is or because there are several speculations about its future. Regardless of the conceptual multiplicity, it is inevitable that this technology will be gradually incorporated into everyday life since it holds enormous potential to bring benefits […]
Tolkien and Technology
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a British writer and university professor known primarily for his work “The Lord of the Rings.” Tolkien is considered one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. His literary work created an imaginary and elaborate world with its own languages, cultures, and stories. In addition to his literary career, […]
Technological Determinism and the Social Construction of Technology
Debates around technology have become prominent in academia as artifacts acquire more and more refinement. Following the logic, studies on Artificial Intelligence are taking spaces that transcend the areas of engineering and computer science. Due to its ethical, moral, philosophical and anthropological implications, scholars are looking to understand how this technology is affecting and will […]
The data privacy debate should be improved
The impact that technology has on everyday life, its most diverse aspects, of course is inevitable. It is almost a rarity to find someone who is not registered on some kind of platform, in which, from an electronic device, one has access to some type of service. and there is no way to escape technological […]
Ethics and Technology – Part 1
There is a common sense of what technology is, and although it is not wrong in its entirety, it does not reflect the depth and complexity that encompass its definitions – which by the way are far from reaching consensus. The first associations with technology refer to “last generation” devices, cars and modern buildings, among […]
