Imagine your house is on fire. You ask for help — and someone suggests adjusting the thermostat. That’s the dominant political discourse. They call it moderation. The world is approaching collapse: natural disasters are more frequent and intense, seasons become unpredictable, crops fail, entire populations are displaced. Biodiversity is disappearing. Inequality is worsening. Automation is eliminating jobs at an unprecedented scale.

Em Março de 2025 foi lançado em Portugal (Março de 2024 no inglês original) o último livro de Mariana Mazzucato e Rosie Collington, cujo título é O Grande Engano: Como a indústria de consultoria enfraquece as empresas, infantiliza os governos e distorce as economias.

We’re not just disagreeing— we’re living in different worlds. It’s election season in Portugal. Political debates are everywhere.

O tópico da Inteligência Artificial (IA) tomou conta das nossas vidas, individuais e colectivas. As abordagens são quase infinitas e muitas delas fascinantes. Se é “inteligente”, se é “artificial”, se nos vai roubar o trabalho, se nos vai escravizar, se a vamos incorporar e permitir que venhamos a alcançar uma “utopia plástica”, nas últimas palavras de Nick Bostrom. Em síntese, a IA tem um potencial para mudar as nossas vidas, se para melhor ou para pior há opiniões (e factos) para todos os gostos.
