Ao longo da história, filósofos, matemáticos e cientistas sonharam com uma inteligência não humana capaz de pensar por si própria. Alan Turing concretizou parte disso ao criar um decodificador que superou os esforços dos especialistas da época. A máquina de Turing alavancou os programas de Inteligência Artificial (IA), desenhados para tarefas inofensivas, como ser um bom adversário no xadrez. Foram necessários pouco mais de trinta anos para Deep Blue virar o jogo e derrotar o enxadrista Garry Kasparov, o então campeão mundial.

A closer look at women’s movement...
YOU BE YOU is an illustrated children's book about a young girl (you!) venturing on a journey of discovery to paint the great canvas of her life.
Winner of the Alan Bray Memorial Book Prize presented by the GL/Q Caucus of the Modern Language Association Finalist for the 2015 LGBT Studies Award presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation Sexual Futures, Queer Gestures and Other Latina Longings proposes a theory of sexual politics that works in the interstices between radical queer desires and the urgency of transforming public policy, between utopian longings and everyday failures.
