Digital public infrastructure, Artificial intelligence, Education, Digital sovereigntyAbstract
This essay addresses the need for public technological infrastructures in education as part
of a country's digital sovereignty, given the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based services
offered by US technology companies. Using a bibliographic method, it examines documents on
current infrastructure systems for digital education in the Brazilian context, demands from researchers
and activists, and the growing dependence on private companies for educational networks. It concludes that there is an urgent need to create a political project for digital sovereignty in education
that considers social participation and federated models of cooperation between institutions.
