In Brazil, 69% of Class A uses generative AI, compared with 16% of Classes D and E. Startups are creating the role of AI Operations (AI Ops), which works between technology, operations and strategy. The transformation is underway globally, with China, the United States and Europe standing out.

Computing platforms and inequality in access to AI

Computing platforms and inequality in access to AI: Arm presents computing platforms for infrastructure, such as the Neoverse CSS N4 and the AGI CPU, which enable real-time optimizations for chips. These tools help reduce development time and improve energy efficiency. The distribution of AI also reflects inequalities: 69% of Class A uses generative AI, compared with 16% of Classes D and E. This shows how access to technology is still unequal, even with advances.

AI redefines chip design globally

AI redefines chip design globally: The technology is being applied in chip design tools and in computing platforms, with advances in agentic AI and optimizations for mobile devices. The availability of AI chip tools in Brazil has not been confirmed, and the impact of AI on the chip design sector in specific countries has not been disclosed either.
