O Brasil prensando grande na era da IA

What we're going to do is make this country fearless, make this country think [musically] that we can transform ourselves into a very great nation. Investing in science and technology as a priority, the issue of national defense as a priority. So the supercomputer isn't just for doing calculations faster; it's for transforming problems that would take decades to solve into everyday issues for the Brazilian people. It's to support the SUS (Brazilian public healthcare system), for example. This is to ensure that rains and droughts are predicted in advance. [music] It's to improve agriculture. It's to make public services more efficient. [music] The installation of supercooling infrastructure at the Augusto Severo Science and Technology Park raises the bar for our region in discussions about digital sovereignty, a crucial topic for the future of our country. This means opportunity for those in university, for researchers, for entrepreneurs, for those starting a career in technology. Today, Brazil is writing a new chapter in its history through responsible public policy that places science and national sovereignty back at the center of its development strategy. We can achieve a better quality of life, greater well-being, and more prosperity through the development of our economy.
