Questões: Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) — com gabarito

Texto 1

O uso de inteligência artificial (IA) para tarefas simples e complexas está se tornando cada vez mais comum, mas você já se perguntou se dizer “por favor” e “obrigado” a uma IA afeta a resposta que ela dará? Estudos da Universidade Cornell, nos Estados Unidos, revelaram que a resposta da IA variava dependendo se a pessoa era gentil ou não. “A linguagem educada na comunicação humana frequentemente gera maior conformidade e eficácia, enquanto a grosseria pode causar aversão, o que afeta a qualidade da resposta”, afirmou o estudo.

Dizer “obrigada” e “por favor” para o ChatGPT pode au mentar ainda mais os custos de seu funcionamento. A em presa criadora do chatbot, OpenAI, gasta até US$ 700 mil por dia para manter o ChatGPT ativo, e cada resposta consome mais do que só eletricidade: há água, dados e bilhões em jogo. Destacam-se não apenas os custos financeiros, mas também o impacto ambiental dos modelos de inteligência artificial mais avançada do mundo. Modelos como o GPT-4 demandam uma grande infraestrutura computacional para entregar respostas em segundos.

Maquiando os transgênicos

Mostarda mais palatável que alface? Indústria alimentícia usa técnica premiada com o Nobel para tornar alimentos mais atrativos e tentar quebrar resistência de parte dos consumidores

O primeiro protótipo tem previsão de lançamento no mercado ainda em 2025: uma folha de mostarda geneticamente modificada para remover sua picância. A proposta foi originalmente desenvolvida pela startup de tecnologia agrícola Pairwise, que firmou um acordo exclusivo de licenciamento de produto com a multinacional alemã Bayer para desenvolver e comercializar o vegetal. As modificações foram feitas a partir de uma técnica capaz de alterar com alta precisão o DNA de animais, plantas e microrganismos, a mesma que, em 2020, rendeu às pesquisadoras Emmanuelle Charpentier e Jennifer A. Doudna o Prêmio Nobel de Química.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria will receive the $500,000 award for her work to utilize biological processes to sustainably improve crop1 nutrition, yields2 and productivity. The scientist whose discoveries helped Brazil become a global agricultural powerhouse has been named the 2025 World Food Prize Laureate.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist from São Paulo, has developed dozens of biological seed and soil treatments that help crops source nutrients through soil bacteria, significantly increasing yields of major crops while also reducing the need for synthetic fertilizer. Her products are estimated to have been used across more than 40 million hectares in Brazil, saving farmers up to US$40 billion a year in costs while avoiding more than 180 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions per year.

Dr. Hungria’s work has helped improve yields of wheat, corn, rice, common beans, and other major crops, including soybean, which is now Brazil’s top agricultural export. Over her 40-year career with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), national soybean production increased from 15 million tons in 1979 to an anticipated 173 million tons in the next harvest3 in 2025.

Dr. Hungria, who overcame prejudices against women and young mothers in academia to be named one of the 100 most powerful women in agriculture in Brazil by Forbes magazine in 2021, said she was inspired by Dr. Norman Borlaug, the father of the Green Revolution and founder of the World Food Prize. “I like to say that he made the Green Revolution possible, and we had this great opportunity to start a ‘micro green revolution’ — a green revolution, but with microorganisms,” she added. “I can’t quite believe I am now receiving the World Food Prize. Many people questioned me and my abilities throughout my career but I believed in what I was doing and persevered. The role of women in agriculture, from farming to science, deserves more recognition. I hope my achievement inspires others to pursue their passions in science.”
