FFMS Summer School: AI, algorithms and democratic resilience

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 01:30

The Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation (FFMS) organized a Summer School dedicated to the theme of artificial intelligence, algorithms and democratic resilience. The event brought together young people from across the country to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on society.

The program was specifically targeted at young people, creating a space for training and discussion about the challenges posed by technology today. Participants had the opportunity to explore issues related to the role of algorithms in public life and democracy.

The event's logistics were fully funded by FFMS, removing economic barriers for participants. Access to the program depended exclusively on merit, ensuring that participant selection was based on criteria of capacity and potential.

This initiative is part of FFMS's activities to promote digital literacy and critical thinking about technology among new generations, contributing to a more informed understanding of the challenges of the digital age.

Why this matters

The holding of a program dedicated exclusively to the impact of artificial intelligence on democracy shows that this issue has ceased to be merely technical to become also political. The young participants gain tools to understand how algorithms affect civic participation and the quality of democracy, knowledge increasingly relevant in a context of growing digitalization.
