In their last paper, Joao Tiago Aparicio and Carlos Costa explore artificial intelligence's potential societal and economic impacts (AI) through generating scenarios that assess how AI may influence various sectors. They categorize and analyze key factors affecting AI's integration and adoption by applying an Impact-Uncertainty Matrix. A proposed methodology involves querying academic databases, identifying emerging …
Prof. Carlos Costa delivered a lecture titled AI and Management at the Portuguese Association of Economists. In his talk, he discussed the history of AI and its impact on organizations. He also shared some of the findings from his research and that of his team.
During his participation in the Seminário Ensino e Investigação, organized by Setúbal Polytechnic, Prof. Carlos Costa shared his insights on the significance of the Master's Final Project as a vital bridge between research and the teaching-learning process.
A recent study conducted by researchers from Portuguese institutions examines blockchain adoption among small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs), with a focus on Trust and Security. The research, titled Blockchain Adoption Factors, explores the key drivers and challenges of implementing blockchain technology, which has the potential to impact various sectors, including finance and healthcare. The research, …
