The authors propose that Brazilian research institutions develop national AI models hosted on sovereign cloud infrastructure to prevent international corporations from exploiting local research​.
GPT-4o: Platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok apply moderation rules that reflect U.S. political and business interests, often influenced by domestic concerns.
Many U.S. platforms use opaque algorithms that may de-prioritize or suppress content without informing the publisher, making it difficult for European governments to predict or counteract the impact.

GPT-4o: AI is most effective when it facilitates the distribution of real expert human knowledge rather than replacing professionals.
Thomson Reuters deploys different versions of Claude AI based on the complexity of the task. This strategy balances speed, efficiency, and accuracy. The AI is built on Amazon Bedrock.
