Imagine entering a museum and being transported, almost instantly, to the digital ruins of Pompeii (Italy), to the Imperial Museum at Quinta da Boa Vista during the Brazilian Empire, or to any other historical site that no longer resembles what it once was in its prime. With the aid of a virtual reality headset or…
If there’s one question that has followed me since I began my research in Digital Humanities, it’s this: After all, what is a virtual museum for? Many people imagine it’s just an online exhibition — a digital tour with photos of a collection. But that’s not it. A virtual museum can be much more than…
Part of my master’s dissertation in Digital Humanities deals directly with digital inclusion. To think about inclusion, we must first understand who is affected by digital exclusion. As I delve into this field of study, I’m guided by the light that so many authors have shed on structures we often prefer to ignore. And it…

Modelos como Chat GPT-3.5/GPT-4.0 e outros disponíveis no mercado atualmente, representam um marco significativo na evolução da inteligência artificial. O GPT-4.0 por exemplo, incorpora algoritmos mais avançados que visam aprimorar a precisão e a relevância das respostas, o que pode resultar numa capacidade maior de entender contextos complexos em comparação com o GPT-3.5, mas essas…
