TALK
—Smart, But Not Psychic: How AI Accesses the Real World
AI can write you a sonnet but can't tell you the weather - at least not without help. This session shows how language models work around their biggest limitation: they only know what they learned during training. Tools give them access to live information, and MCP is the protocol making it all work smoothly. We'll demo real simple examples. No coding experience needed, just curiosity about what's actually happening when you chat with AI.
CLASS
—Augmented Research: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence
This class explores the evolution of scientific research, moving from traditional research models to the emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence and its impact on scientific production. It analyses the main advantages and limitations of using AI in research, addressing issues such as efficiency, quality, ethics, and technological dependence. Throughout the different phases of the research cycle - literature review, concept exploration, information organization, writing, and synthesis - several support tools are presented, including Consensus, Semantic Scholar, NotebookLM, and ResearchRabbit, among others. The session concludes with a forward-looking perspective on Integrated Research Environments, highlighting Prism, a new tool developed by OpenAI that supports the automated writing of scientific articles in LaTeX within a single integrated workspace.

—Generative AI on the Path to Professional Success in the Digital Era
Generative AI is changing the way we learn and make decisions, becoming an increasingly essential skill for anyone who wants to grow professionally in the digital era. In this fireside chat, we will explore in a practical and straightforward way: - How to use AI to boost productivity and improve work quality; - Which skills will make the difference in the near future; - Key precautions: validation, ethics, and privacy; - Real-world examples of application across different professional contexts. If you want to understand how to turn Generative AI into a competitive advantage, join us.
TALK
—AI Techniques in Strategic Decision-Making
This short training program presents practical ways to use Artificial Intelligence to enhance decision-making in management contexts. Through techniques and real-world examples of generative AI, key challenges such as planning, risk assessment, and opportunity identification will be addressed, promoting more efficient and informed management.
LIVE
—AI in Engineering
Artificial Intelligence is profoundly transforming the world of engineering, making systems smarter, more autonomous, and more efficient. In this talk, we will explore how AI techniques such as Machine Learning, computer vision, and predictive analytics are being applied in fields like industrial, civil, computer, electrical, and biomedical engineering. We will discuss real-world applications, current challenges, and future opportunities, showing how AI is reshaping the way we design, build, and innovate.
SEMINAR
—Gamibot: A Gamified Chatbot for Moodle
Gamibot is an intelligent chatbot designed to support gamification and enhance learning, developed for integration within Moodle environments. Its goal is to increase student engagement through motivational mechanics, automated feedback, and personalized interaction. In this Academ_IA XP Seminar , we will provide an overview of Gamibot, presenting its main features, explaining how it works, and detailing the integration process within partner institutions’ Moodle platforms. The session will also share the results of pilot tests and experimental implementations, including direct contributions from faculty members and project teams involved in the process. The event will also feature participation from members of the INOV-NORTE project (Activity 3.2), as well as course coordinators who conducted the pilot tests, fostering a space for practical sharing and reflection on the pedagogical impact of this solution. Agenda Opening and contextual framing What is Gamibot and how it works Moodle integration process Live demonstration Pilot tests and experiences Discussion and Q&A More details at: https://inov-norte.github.io/gamibot-docs/en/
