I thank artificial intelligence, not my intelligence, for that part of the speech I just read.
Eduardo Paes, opening in Rio
Lula is not the biggest fan of technology. Generally in an ironic tone, he tends to complain exactly that he needs “human intelligence” more than “artificial” intelligence.
The mayor of Rio praised areas such as science, technology and mathematics as “fundamental pillars for the sustainable and innovative development of any nation”. For him, these skills are capable of “shaping the foundations of a robust and diversified economy”, in addition to “catalyzing social inclusion”.
Paes also highlighted the importance of investing so that talent produced in Brazil remains in the country and does not seek opportunities abroad. The mayor stated that producing and maintaining these talents is essential for technological and sustainable development. The mayor assured that part of the speech was written by him, not by ChatGPT.
Today we are opening a college, but we live in an era marked by rapid technological evolution, where the frontiers of knowledge expand every day […] Technology is the tool that transforms scientific knowledge into concrete solutions that make cities smarter and more sustainable. Cities that invest in advanced engineering become hubs for business investment and job creation.
Eduardo Paes, mayor of Rio
Lula attended the event accompanied by First Lady Janja and some ministers, with emphasis on the Minister of Racial Equality, Anielle Franco, who will join the PT today and compete for the vice-presidential spot on the ticket with Paes, who will seek re-election. According to PT members, Paes has been reluctant to accept the name, but the party argues that, if it wants support from the president, the PT needs to be on the ticket.
