InteliGenteCards

InteliGenteCards is an innovative educational tool that facilitates understanding and discussion about Artificial Intelligence (AI), ethics, and social impacts. Each card is carefully designed to be both educational and engaging, stimulating participants' critical thinking and creativity. With InteliGenteCards, you can:

• Generate ideas for AI projects or solutions.
• Discuss ethical dilemmas applicable to AI.
• Explore case studies based on real-life situations.

The decision to use only questions in the deck was made to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and active exploration of the topics covered. Here are some reasons for this approach:

• Questions foster individual reflection and collective dialogue: By answering and discussing open-ended questions, participants share diverse perspectives, leading to rich debates and idea exchange.
• Exploration and Active Learning: Questions encourage participants to seek their own answers, promoting active learning rather than providing ready-made solutions.
• Practical Applicability: Open-ended questions challenge participants to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This strengthens understanding and inspires innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: Questions can be used in various contexts, from workshops to study groups or individual learning. They adapt to each participant's knowledge level, making them relevant for both beginners and experts.
• Soft Skills Development: Beyond technical knowledge, questions also foster skills such as communication, argumentation, and teamwork, essential for professionals aiming to succeed in the AI field.

The facilitator typically begins by selecting a card from the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) pathway to propose potential solutions to the groups. This serves as an entry point to guide participants toward brainstorming and discussing innovative approaches to address the challenges. Once a solution is suggested, the activity transitions to the pathways focused on idea development and ethical considerations. The goal is to help students explore and understand the complexities involved in developing a solution. Through guided discussions, reflective questioning, and collaborative exploration, participants are encouraged to critically evaluate their ideas, address ethical dilemmas, and consider the broader impacts of their proposed solutions. This structured approach ensures that students not only generate creative ideas but also gain a deeper appreciation of the multifaceted challenges inherent in real-world problem-solving.

Although the primary focus of this deck is to facilitate understanding and application of AI in solving complex problems, it is important to emphasize that the tools and methods discussed can be applied to a wide range of technological and non-technological solutions. Facilitators and participants are therefore encouraged to explore and develop ideas that may or may not involve the use of AI.

During the game, each team is encouraged to think creatively, regardless of whether they choose to employ AI in their solutions. The deck is designed to be a brainstorming and planning tool that can be equally effective in structuring projects across various fields, such as sustainable development, health innovation, education, and more. Thus, even if a team decides to tackle the assigned problem without using AI technologies, the thought process and methodologies learned will remain equally valuable.

We encourage facilitators to support all forms of solutions proposed by the teams, whether or not they involve AI technology. This includes solutions based on practical innovations, policy changes, awareness campaigns, and other approaches. The diversity of approaches enriches the learning experience and allows all participants to contribute meaningfully, regardless of their familiarity with AI technology.

The book "Data Science — Fundamentals and Applications" (Authors: André C. P. L. F. de Carvalho, Ângelo G. Menezes, Robson P. Bonidia) was developed to demystify the essential concepts of data science and democratize knowledge for non-specialists. It provides a comprehensive introduction for undergraduates, postgraduates, and professionals from any field who wish to understand and apply algorithms and techniques in this domain.
