The Postgraduate Program in Artificial Intelligence addresses the most important questions posed by the widespread use of technology, in a fully multidisciplinary program that includes Medicine, Engineering, Physics, Psychology, Law, Ethics, and Biotechnology.

Do you feel prepared to survive and lead in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Do you want to discover how this technological revolution can work in your favor, in your profession and in your life?

We will identify challenges, present tools, and explore opportunities, especially with the new Generative AI.

Do you want to learn, for example, what are the best questions (prompts) to ask GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) to obtain text, images, code, video, presentations, exactly as you need them? How to manage the stress of the changes you have to deal with? How to understand and optimize collaboration between people and machines? How to deal with the new regulations? How to think about the ethical issues that arise every day?

AI is in our lives and has changed them. It knows everything about us and makes decisions that seem like our own. Work is different, hugs are replaced by a “like,” life revolves around smartphones, which today have more technology than was needed to get humanity to the moon.

This duality and coexistence between the emotional human and the omnipresence of AI is the great challenge.

It is up to us, human beings, to develop and apply artificial intelligence to our advantage so that, together, we can go further, become better, and more fulfilled.

• To identify challenges, present tools, and envision opportunities for Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an integral part of humanity’s current evolutionary stage in this global digital age.
• Understanding the person as a biopsychosocial being, with limitations and emotions, and their capacity to adapt to new technologies.
• Understanding the language, the bridges between the “programming” of the brain and AI systems, especially Generative AI (GPT), and quantum evolution.
• To understand the main rules of Law and Ethics and the new AI Regulation of the European Union.
• To foster innovation and personal fulfillment, envisioning the best possible relationship between humankind and technology, especially AI, for the benefit of all.

• Everyone who uses, or would like to use, technology and Artificial Intelligence in their daily lives.
• Managers, lawyers, healthcare professionals, workers in commerce, industry, logistics, real estate, human resources, education, as well as anyone interested in preparing for the future.
