Six statements about AI

AI is a robot´s ability to think and act like a human.- T People don´t see any differences between male and female robots .- F AI is now a fundamental part of techonology.- T Female robots are used in many different tasks, not just “tasks normally assigned to women”- F Male robots seem more trustworthy to people, so they think they (male robots) are more capable-T There is no longer stereotypes about gender equality and AI helps to prove and reinforce it.-F

Creative writing about space exploration

This a text that I wrote with my friend and classmate Diogo Soares. We had to pretend that we were an astronaut (working on a mission) in 2030, writing to his wife. Hello darling, hopefully you're doing well. I know it's been hard to deal with this climate crisis , but I know you will be strong enough to handle it. I know that since I'm here, trapped in a spaceship travelling somewhere in the milky way , I'm unable to experience what is going on and you know that I would like to be with you to help.   Anyway, we're now in 2030 and everything got worst since I started this mission. I've noticed that there's a few problems that will lead to our planet being uninhabitable and this will get worse because we didn't act fastly. We thought that our planet had recovered a little bit after the Covid-19 epidemic, but it seems like it didn't do much of a difference, as there is still a high risk of Earth being almost destroyed.  One of the worst pr

A Day in the Life of a teenager in lockdown

Corona-Virus has affected my life in several ways. For example, I'm no longer capable to go out with friends or go to basketball practice which are things that I miss a lot. At least I have been helping my mom with chores, which is good. I'm also incapable of visiting my family, mostly my grandparents something that I used to do frequently and for now no longer happens.  Usually when I don't have anything to do my favourite pastime activities are playing videogames with my friends and also playing basketball in my backyard, which is the only way I can play it at the moment, of course, although I still have practice by Zoom.  As I mentioned earlier, I mostly miss my family and friends and it makes me sad that I can't spend time with them currently. This made my Easter very unusual because they couldn't be here during that time.  This epidemic has been an awful experience, but it made realize that I need to start appreciating all the time that I get to spend wi

How Artificial Intelligence influences gender equality

Artificial Intelligence is the ability that a computer or machine has to think, orin by other words, it's their capacity to mimic some of our human functions . It's also a scientific field that involves studying and programming these robots to act as “smart” as possible, therefore acting in the most similar way to us humans, allowing them to learn, solve problems and do certain tasks like driving, a few housekeeping tasks like vacuuming. In the twenty-first century, AI has experienced a lot of advances in computer power, large amounts of data, and theoretical understanding; and AI techniques have become an essential part of technology, helping to solve many challenging problems in computer science, software engineering and operations research. The use of AI can also lead to the reinforcement of gender stereotypes mostly because there is proof that people think that male robots are trustworthy and competent and female robots seem more likeable mas not so reliable. For exampl

Talking about SDG number 15

I'm concerned about SDG number 15, life on land. This goal is about protecting, restoring and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, so basically it includes the sustainable management of the forests, combating desertification, reversing land degradation and controlling biodiversity loss. Reaching this goal is essential, because life on land is the foundation of the Earth and therefore if we want to save the planet we can't afford to lose ecosystems and biodiversity so we have to promote a global effort to stop all the damages caused to the environment. In Portugal there is a plan to conserve nature and biodiversity but there are still a lot of objectives that are unaccomplished. For example in our plan to organize the territory, there are 2000 areas that are still to be organized to this day. Desertification is also a problem in Portugal, mostly in the south (interior) part of the country due to the dry type of weather that affects the region. One thing t
