The missing interoperability: when the State (or other public entity) forgets what it already knows

Público8 September 2026 at 00:05

The article addresses the problem of lack of interoperability between public services. When a citizen is required to present the same information to different government services, this demonstrates that the State cannot effectively manage its own information.

The problem manifests when citizens are forced to repeatedly justify or submit documents and data that they have already provided to another public service. This situation creates frustration and distrust among citizens regarding the State's efficiency.

The article suggests that this communication failure between public services conveys a negative implicit message: the State does not know how to manage its own information. This inability to share data between government entities represents a systemic failure that affects the quality of service provided to citizens.

The central issue relates to the need for public services to implement interoperable systems that allow shared access to information already collected, avoiding duplication of requests and improving citizens' experience.

The brain is building its successor

The article analyses the paradox of artificial intelligence: biological neural networks created artificial networks that are beginning to transform the very environment that will shape human evolution. Comparing brains and AI models across parameters, energy efficiency (20 watts vs gigawatts), memory and sensory integration, the author argues that although machines surpass humans in specific tasks, they still do not match the integrative richness of the biological brain. The central question is not whether machines will become human, but whether humans will remain exclusively biological — advocating for gradual integration with open norms, protection of neuronal data, and for Portugal to position itself at the intersection of AI, neuroscience and fundamental rights.
