Straight from Mexico to Brazil. Obrigado por me receberem aqui hoje, Sao Paolo! Following Microsoft’s Mexico City AI Tour, today marked another great AI Tour in Sao Paulo, Brazil and my first visit ever to South America and Latin America’s largest economy. Our CEO, Satya Nadella, once again opened the day with a powerful reinforcement for the Microsoft Mais Brazil program (originally announced in 2020). Over the next three years Microsoft will invest $2.7B in Brazil to enhance its cloud infrastructure and AI, as well as offer AI training to 5 million people. With Brazil on track to become one of the world’s largest GitHub communities, I was very excited to speak more about what it takes deliver value from intelligent apps. Joined onstage by Paulo Cocato, Head of Artificial Intelligence at Vivo, Telefónica’s Group commercial trademark in Brazil, we discussed how AI can: - reshape business processes and operations to be more efficient and more intelligent.  - enrich the employee experience.  - ensure customer and partner experiences more engaging and personal.  - accelerate product innovation to deliver completely new experiences and solutions for end users. In his keynote, Satya reinforced our commitment "to supporting the AI transformation in Brazil and ensuring it benefits everyone.” Brazil has been at the forefront of every major wave of technology, from web to mobile to cloud. Surely it will once again be a strong leader in the shift to AI.

Meta's Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team has recently released several groundbreaking AI models, datasets, and research artifacts that are set to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence. Let's delve into these exciting developments: The Segment Anything Model 2.1 (SAM 2.1) is an update to the popular image and video segmentation model, now equipped with the SAM 2 Developer Suite, enabling fine-tuning with custom data and providing open-source code for web demos. #ImageSegmentation #ComputerVision Meta Spirit LM is a pioneering multimodal language model that seamlessly integrates text and speech. With two versions - Base and Expressive - it can perform tasks like automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, and speech classification, generating more natural-sounding speech. #NaturalLanguageProcessing #SpeechTechnology Layer Skip is an innovative architecture designed to enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) by accelerating generation times without specialized hardware or software. It executes a subset of the model's layers and uses subsequent layers for verification and correction. #LargeLanguageModels #PerformanceOptimization Additionally, Meta introduced Lingua, focused on refining sentence representations for LLMs, and MEXMA, a new pre-trained cross-lingual sentence encoder covering 80 languages. Self-Taught Evaluators, a method for generating synthetic preference data to train reward models without human annotations, and SALSA, a project researching the security of post-quantum cryptography standards, were also unveiled. #NaturalLanguageProcessing #Cryptography For more information and access to these groundbreaking resources, please refer to the links provided in the original article. #ArtificialIntelligence #MetaFAIR #TechnologyInnovation

Being here at "Google for Brazil" this week, one thing is clear - the region's growing digital footprint is palpable. However, with this global attention, Brazil has also caught the eye of more cybercriminals - including targeting from government-backed groups from the People’s Republic of China, Russia, and North Korea. That's why today Google security teams TAG and Mandiant (part of Google Cloud) have released a new blog detailing their collective understanding of the Brazilian threat landscape. Our hope is that by sharing our global perspective, we can enable greater resiliency in mitigating these threats: https://lnkd.in/edWKd9MV

It’s been a month since the release of the 2024 DORA Report, a much-anticipated publication in the tech community. Unsurprisingly, this year’s spotlight is on the impact of AI on developer productivity. One intriguing finding stands out: As AI adoption increased, there was an estimated 1.5% decrease in delivery throughput and a 7.2% reduction in delivery stability. This aligns with Tuckman’s model of team development—Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. Clearly, we are in the early "forming" stage of integrating AI into workflows. While AI adoption has caused a slight dip in productivity and stability, it sets the stage for significant growth. Over the next few years, we can expect these models to mature and drive us toward the "performing" phase. For now, when it comes to AI-generated code, thorough testing remains crucial to ensure quality outcomes. https://lnkd.in/dx8Bqz9b
