    É uma realidade inegável e está à vista de todos: a revolução digital entrou numa nova fase e a Inteligência Artificial (IA) veio para ficar. Com este poderoso avanço tecnológico, muitas são as questões e dilemas de natureza Ética que se colocam e que são determinantes para perceber o real alcance da IA no futuro e nas nossas vidas. Steven S. Gouveia, filósofo português, doutorado em Neurofilosofia da Mente, tem-se dedicado a refletir e a escrever sobre o tema, sendo o título do seu livro mais recente "Thinking the New World: Conversations on Artificial Intelligence". Atualmente investigador do Instituto de Filosofia da Universidade do Porto, Steven S. Gouveia lidera um projeto de seis anos sobre a Ética da Inteligência Artificial em medicina, em parceria com as Universidades de Yale, Helsínquia e Exeter. "Estamos perante uma fase da Humanidade que requer o máximo de esforço e 'expertise' ética para considerar todas as potenciais implicações em desenvolver este tipo de tecnologias altamente complexas que podem revolucionar todos os aspetos do que significa Ser Humano", afirma. A regulação é, pois, fundamental

    The Steven Schwarzschild Collection documents the professional activities of Rabbi Steven S. Schwarzschild as a researcher, philosopher, and teacher. It also documents to a lesser degree the personal lives of Steven Schwarzschild and his wife Lily. The collection includes brochures, booklets, clippings, correspondence, notes, off prints, photographs, printed materials, and writings. Documents comprising the collection shed light on Steven Schwarzschild’s education, and reflect various aspects of Steven Schwarzschild’s involvement with Judaism, as leader of Jewish congregations in Fargo, North Dakota and Lynn, Massachusetts; his academic career, research and writings in the fields of philosophy and theology placing him among the leading Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century.There is a very small amount of personal materials pertaining to Steven and Lily Schwarzschild. These materials include documents pertaining to Lily Schwarzschild’s investments, pension, and medical bills. Additionally, there are some photographs of Steven Schwarzschild and friends. The larger portion of the collection consists of teaching and research materials, consisting of notes, student writings, printed materials, correspondence, and Rabbi Schwarzschild’s writings. Topics include humanism and ethics, the philosophy of Moses Maimonides and its impact on the Jewish philosophical and religious thought, Enlightenment, Jewish philosophers, socialism and political philosophy. Teaching-related materials include a small amount of materials such as class rosters, syllabi, grading materials, reading lists, and correspondence with researchers and students. Manuscripts collected here vary in forms, ranging from short essays, sermons, and articles to academic works of a much larger scale. The majority of the writings collected here were published in books and journals, but there is also a small number of unpublished manuscripts, both by Steven Schwarzschild and other authors.Correspondence includes prominent Jewish philosophers and religious and communal leaders of the 20th century, like Leo Baeck, Erich Fromm, and Ernst Simon. Also collected here is the correspondence with academic, cultural, and religious organizations, as well as correspondence with Holocaust survivors. Steven Schwarzschild’s rabbinical work is documented by a limited amount of materials dealing with his service as a rabbi in Berlin between 1948 and 1950 and materials pertaining to his work with Temple Beth El in Fargo, North Dakota and Temple Beth El in Lynn, Massachusetts. These materials include newsletters and announcements, correspondence, and rabbinical records including death, birth, conversion, and marriage records.Steven S. Schwarzschild was born 1924 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. His family escaped Nazi Germany and settled in the United States in 1939. After receiving ordination from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati in 1948, Steven Schwarzschild moved to Berlin to serve as the rabbi for the Jűdische Gemeinde zu Berlin. He stayed in Berlin for over two years and in 1950 moved back to the United States. He settled in Fargo, North Dakota, where he served as rabbi for Temple Beth El. In the late 1950s, Steven Schwarzschild became rabbi at Temple Beth El in Lynn, Massachusetts.In 1961, he became an editor of the quarterly journal Judaism. He resigned form his position in 1969 in a protest against a lack of independence that he had in his position as an editor. In 1965, Rabbi Schwarzschild became a Professor of Philosophy and Judaic Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He taught and wrote on a variety of topics including ethics, Judaism, Jewish personalities, socialism, and aesthetics.In his academic work and research he was most influenced by Hermann Cohen, Immanuel Kant and Moses Maimonides. Steven Schwarzschild was also involved in social movements as well as in interfaith dialogues, most notably with the Protestant theologian, John Howard Yoder and the American Catholic monk and writer, Thomas Merton. Steven Schwarzschild died in 1989.Finding aid available online.Processeddigitize

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
