About this event

IAS Visiting Fellow Professor Renato de Oliveira Moraes delivers a seminar on their research.

This study explores the use of generative AI (GenAI) in Brazilian higher education, focusing on its responsible use and unique challenges in Brazil. Despite global advancements, Latin America lags in establishing GenAI policies, which may deepen educational inequalities.

While it is possible to categorise Brazilian HE institutions (HEIs) into two main groups, doing so can obscure the presence of many high-performing private HEIs, such as numerous religious institutions, as well as public HEIs of lower quality, particularly those located in isolated regions of the country.

Therefore, it would be more effective to distinguish between HEIs that prioritise quality of teaching—primarily found in most public institutions, where students pay no fee—and those that prioritise the quantity of students served, which is typical of many private institutions, and have around 80% of undergraduate enrolments. This research highlights the need for policy development to responsibly guide AI's role in education.

Arrivals from 11.45am for a 12pm start. For those joining in-person, lunch will be served after the seminar from 1pm.
