The problem of the ontological limit of Artificial Intelligence and transhumanism in contrast with the ontology of Homo sapiens is discussed. Beyond the so-called exogenous or endogenous integration (with their respective prototypes, the android and the cyborg), the scenario of a technological singularity seems to materialize in entities that synthesize biology and technology, for example, by means of a download or transbiomorphosis that translates the neural networks of our mind into the memory of a computer. This is a hybridization that warns us about the advent of new species that could leave Homo sapiens behind. If the human/machine synthesis is the limit desired by the transhumanist program, this limit seems to have crossed, in turn, the very ontological limit of the human, on which science, philosophy and religion had so far more or less agreed - each presenting their own cards.

In this article, which has the opportunity to be included in the centennial celebration of the publication of Democracy and Education , we intend to reflect on the foundations of three core notions present throughout John Dewey's work, especially in the aforementioned publication. We refer to the notions of democracy, intelligence and education, which seem to be in a structural relationship. The title of John Dewey's original work does not include the term intelligence. However, it seems crucial to anchor the theory of education, based on a democratic conception, to this structural idea and include it in the author's theory. Indeed, according to Dewey's philosophy, education is represented as a test to the validity of the ideal of a democratic society and takes on the responsibility of creating the conditions for the implementation of such society. In Dewey's conception democracy is much more than just a form of government. It is the opportunity for a complete fulfillment of human potential. In this context, only an ability such as intelligence can be used to act upon an always evolving and uncertain world with a tendency for constant improvement. To this end, the conception of intelligence that allows us to fulfill such ideal must therefore be clarified. ; Neste artigo, que aproveita a oportunidade de se incluir numa celebração dos cem anos da publicação de Democracy and Education, pretendemos fazer uma reflexão sobre os fundamentos de três noções nucleares e transversais a toda a obra de John Dewey, em especial a referida acima. Reportamo-nos às noções de d emocracia, inteligência e educação, numa relação que nos parece estrutural. O título da obra original de John Dewey não inclui o termo inteligência. No entanto, parece-nos decisivo fazer ancorar a teoria da educação, que se explana no âmbito de uma concepção democrática, nessa ideia estrutural na teoria do autor. Com efeito, na filosofia de Dewey, a educação assume o papel de teste da validade do ideal de uma sociedade democrática e é sobre ela que recai a responsabilidade de criar as condições para a implementação desta sociedade. Na concepção de Dewey a democracia é bem mais do que uma forma de governo. É a oportunidade de realização plena das potencialidades maiores da natureza humana. Nesse contexto, só uma capacidade como a inteligência pode servir para agir num mundo contingente, em evolução permanente e com a vocação de uma melhoria constante. Mas, para isso, torna-se necessário clarificar a concepção de inteligência que permite realizar esse ideal.

Local governments across the world are in the middle of technological and economic developments that come together in the catch-all label of smart cities or innovative cities. In a smart city, ICT-infused infrastructures enable the extensive monitoring and steering of city maintenance, mobility, air and water quality, energy usage, among others. The effect of growing population and the challenges regarding urbanization and environmental sustainability have led the European Union to adopt different policies and initiatives to promote this new city model. Nevertheless, such processes use and produce massive amounts of data, which could affect people's privacy. Countries like Spain have begun to invest in smart cities and Artificial Intelligence projects to improve efficiency in the public sector. However, the use of artificial intelligence can generate several problems such as opacity, legal uncertainty, or breaches of personal data protection. Therefore, the goal of this article is to identify the main legal challenges for public administrations derived from the development of innovative cities and the use of AI regarding to privacy. ; Los gobiernos locales de todo el mundo se encuentran en medio de desarrollos tecnológicos y económicos que se unen en la etiqueta general de ciudades inteligentes o ciudades innovadoras. En una ciudad inteligente, las infraestructuras infundidas en las TIC permiten el monitoreo y la dirección extensivos del mantenimiento de la ciudad, la movilidad, la calidad del aire y del agua, el uso de energía, entre otros. El efecto del crecimiento demográfico y los desafíos en materia de urbanización y sostenibilidad ambiental han llevado a la Unión Europea a adoptar diferentes políticas e iniciativas para impulsar este nuevo modelo de ciudad. Sin embargo, dichos procesos utilizan y producen cantidades masivas de datos, lo que podría afectar la privacidad de las personas. Países como España han comenzado a invertir en ciudades inteligentes y proyectos de Inteligencia Artificial para mejorar ...

Tax evasion is the practice of the non-payment of taxes. In Brazil alone, it is estimated as 8% of GDP. Thus, governments must use intelligent systems to support tax auditors to identify tax evaders. Such systems seek to recognize patterns and rely on sensitive taxpayer data that is protected by law and difficult to access. This research presents a smart solution, capable of identifying the profile of potential tax evaders, using only open and public data, made available by the Brazilian internal revenue service, the administrative council of tax appeals of the State of Goiás, and other public sources. Three models were generated using Random Forest, Neural Networks, and Graphs. The validation after fine improvements offered an accuracy greater than 98% in predicting tax evading companies. Finally, a web-based solution was created to be used and validated by tax auditors of the State of Goiás. ; La evasión fiscal es la consecuencia de la práctica de la defraudación tributaria. En Brasil, se estima que corresponde al 8% del PIB. Por lo tanto, los gobiernos necesitan y utilizan sistemas inteligentes para ayudar a los agentes de hacienda a identificar a los defraudadores fiscales. Dichos sistemas se basan en datos confidenciales de los contribuyentes para el reconocimiento de patrones, que están protegidos por ley. Este trabajo presenta una solución inteligente, capaz de identificar perfiles de potenciales defraudadores fiscales, utilizando únicamente datos públicos abiertos, puestos a disposición por la Hacienda Federal y por el Consejo Administrativo Tributario del Estado de Goiás, entre otros registros públicos. Se generaron tres modelos utilizando random forest y neural networks. En la validación después de finas mejoras, fue posible obtener una precisión superior al 98% en la predicción del perfil moroso. Finalmente, se creó una solución de software visual para uso y validación por parte de los auditores fiscales del estado de Goiás. ; A evasão fiscal é a consequência da prática da sonegação. Apenas no Brasil, ...

Abstract Environments for access to government data, viaInformation and Communications Technologies, may expand possibilities for citizen monitoring, providing feedback for future demands. The aim of this study is to identify, in the available data via active transparency, the existence of elements that allow the construction of new proposals of dimensional models, enabling an anticipation of demands on data access. The theoretical-methodological framework, the text uses the concepts Citizen Intelligence and Business Intelligence. As a result, a dimensional model was proposed, building on a dimensional model from a daily expenses query, available in the Transparency home-page of the Brazillian Federal Government. Keywords Public Transparency, Information and Communication Technologies, Collecting Data, Citizen Intelligence, Data Warehouse. ; Resumo Ambientes para acesso a dados governamentais, via Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, podem ampliar possibilidades de acompanhamento pelo cidadão, retroalimentando futuras demandas. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar nos dados disponíveis via transparência ativa, a existência de elementos que permitam a elaboração de propostas de modelos dimensionais, propiciando a antecipação de demandas de acesso a dados. Como referencial teórico-metodológico, o texto utiliza os conceitos Business Intelligence eCitizen Intelligence. Como resultado, foi elaborada a proposta de um modelo dimensional a partir da consulta de despesas diárias, disponível no Portal de Transparência do Governo Federal. Palavras-chave Transparência Pública, Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, Coleta de Dados, Citizen Intelligence, Data Warehouse.

The article discusses the relantionship between humans, animals and machines, focusing on the problem of the decoupling of consciousness implied in the development of artificial intelligences. 'What is the relationship between the progressive conditioning of human processes to artificial processes (intelligent and non-conscious entities) and the so-called animal ethics?' and 'What does it mean to say that the recent ethical concern for animals is a post-historical and biopolitical phenomenon?' are some of the questions that the articles elaborates and tries to answer.

It is suggested that postmodern aesthetics, far from the possibility of being conceived as philosophical aesthetics or philosophy of art (at least as presented by Alexander G. Baumgarten at the beginning of Modernity), would acquire in the current era the physiognomy of an aesthetic pop, whose founding expression would seem to be the aesthetic experience itself and not other conditions attributable to a certain aesthetic canon. In relation to this conjecture, which apparently implies a certain overcoming of the idea of work, we discuss, on the one hand, the connection between art and artificial intelligence and, on the other hand, the implications of Everyday Aesthetics on the concept of experience. Both practices would testify to a renewed aesthetic common sense.

The paper presents an approach of Case Based Reasoning, where it was born from the problems of human memory solution model, thus inspiring the creation of programs to address current problems. It is a technique that aims to solve a problem from the knowledge of past problems, comparing them with the new problem, and adapting well to a new solution. This will cover, from its definition, the techniques used, the stages of its development, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

The aim is to propose, through the joint reading of Jacques Rancière and Paulo Freire, a philosophy of education capable of orienting us in a critique of the current neoliberal society. Having such a goal in view, I first state how equality can appear as a principle to guide our educational practices. With the affirmation of the power proper to the intelligence is an entire anthropological understanding of the man who is drawn, understanding that affirms the human being as an entity that has in learning a privileged way of relating and existing in the world. In a second moment, I argue that such a principle of equality finds an important complementarity with the dialectic between oppressors and oppressed developed by Paulo Freire, explaining the political character of the principle of equality of intelligences and its necessary social mediation within a history marked by the relations of inequality. From this, we can propose an idea of ​​education not based on the strategy of investing in human capital - a presupposition of the rationality of contemporary capitalism - but in the normativity proper to a democratic and emancipatory anthropology and philosophy of history.
