Brazil is above average in AI use, global survey finds

A global survey conducted by Google in partnership with Ipsos revealed that Brazil is above the world average in the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI). According to the survey, 54% of Brazilians claim to use this technology, a reflection of how the country has advanced in the integration of technological tools in different sectors, including education.

In the school environment, parents and educators face doubts about how to balance the use of these tools with other activities that foster development, such as manual practices. In this scenario, technology, when well used, can be a powerful ally to expand access to information and enhance learning, especially in the context of the “Cultura Digital”, one of the ten core competencies defined by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC).

With technology, students have access to a wide variety of educational resources quickly and practically.Digital platforms and the internet allow them to explore content that complements school learning, expanding knowledge beyond textbooks.

In addition, the personalization of teaching is a major advance provided by technological tools.Adaptive platforms adjust content to individual needs, allowing students to learn at their own pace. Marco Giroto, founder of the franchise network SuperGeeks, points out: “A life without technology no longer exists. The goal now is to use all this in an increasingly assertive way. Everything is done with a good orientation and specific methodology”.

Technological resources make learning more dynamic and engaging, using educational games, interactive videos and simulations. These tools not only arouse student interest, but also help develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration.

Italo Pereira, technical-pedagogical coordinator of SuperGeeks, reinforces: “When students have access to quality technological resources, they not only learn the content, but also skills that will be indispensable in the labor market and in the”.

The franchise network is a practical example of how technology can democratize teaching.The school, a pioneer in teaching programming and robotics in Brazil, serves students of all ages and needs, with affordable courses that include adaptations for people with visual, motor or cognitive disabilities.

“Technology is not just a tool, but a facilitator of inclusion. Our goal is to ensure that anyone, regardless of their conditions, can explore the digital universe and fully develop”, adds Giroto.

As technology advances, its role in transforming education becomes increasingly evident.The strategic use of digital tools not only democratizes knowledge, but contributes to the formation of a more egalitarian society prepared for the challenges of the future.
