Babel, Jerusalem e os algoritmos: A IA sob a lente do Vaticano

O Papa Leão XIV publicou sua primeira encíclica social, Magnifica Humanitas, em 15 de maio de 2026, e o mundo intelectual tratou de fazer o que sempre faz nessas ocasiões: uns aplaudiram com devoção, outros ignoraram com elegância e uma terceira categoria – da qual me considero humilde representante em toda minha proverbial grandeza e infinita sabedoria – leu o documento com atenção genuína e uma sobrancelha erguida em posição permanente.O texto é longo, erudito à moda vaticana – citações em latim, referências ao Concílio Vaticano II, a Leão XIII e a toda a linhagem de encíclicas sociais da Igreja – e dedica uma atenção incomum à Inteligência Artificial, ao ponto de colocar o tema no próprio subtítulo: “Sobre a salvaguarda da pessoa humana na era da Inteligência Artificial”.

The Indian Council for Agricultural Research (#ICAR) has issued a circular to its senior officers and scientists, instructing them to limit their interactions with the media.
It was issued on Feb 2, emphasises that media briefings must be conducted only by authorised officers and with prior approval.
The decision followed concerns raised by a ‘Non-GM Coalition’ regarding research outcomes and supposed manipulation related to #genetically #edited #rice, which ICAR later addressed with a rebuttal.

Strengthening India’s Dairy Ecosystem 🤝🐄

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) have signed a landmark MoU in New Delhi to enhance collaboration in dairy research, innovation, and extension. This strategic partnership combines ICAR’s scientific and research expertise with NDDB’s strong field-level presence to deliver real impact across the dairy value chain.

Thanks to Paulo #Virtuani for his beautiful interview in his book on the Rubik's cube, titled "Sei facce di genialità: il cubo di Rubik e la sua storia"! In Italian, published by Baldini+Castoldi.

I had the idea of #CubeHarmonic in 2013 while living and studying in #Paris, and then I developed it in collaboration with #Japanese engineers and mathematicians: the research group of Prof. Yoshifumi Kitamura (Tohoku University, Sendai), and Prof. Takashi Yoshino (Toyo University, Tokyo), both mentioned in the interview.

There is a reference to my current work as researcher at the #Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, #ICAR-CNR.
