Abstract

In his work plan, the candidate Guilherme Zanqueta explicitly expresses the following interest: "I believe that participating in the 'Human-Algorithm Interaction' project is perfect for me to continue doing what I love most: exploring, experimenting, expanding, and learning." The proposed work plan aims to balance Zanqueta's interests in working with algorithmic technologies and the ongoing project at UFMG, the Center for Innovation in Artificial Intelligence for Health (CIIA-Saude), which is funded by both public (i.e., FAPESP and FAPEMIG) and private sources, under the guidance of the supervising professor. This project aims to examine how online education resources can be used to prepare mid-level healthcare professionals to interact with AI-based services. (AU)
