In a recent episode of RedCast, scientist Miguel Nicolelis and influencer Sérgio Sacani sparked a debate: has the term "Artificial Intelligence" become more of a marketing tool than a scientific concept?
They argue that the term, once a niche technical field, has been co-opted by companies to attract investment and generate billions. The conversation questions whether the current AI boom is driven by genuine breakthroughs or strategic branding.
"Is AI just a label to sell products?" the duo asks, highlighting how the acronym now appears everywhere from chatbots to coffee machines.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the term's commercial power is undeniable, but its scientific substance is up for discussion.
