    Submission System Recommendations: / Recomendações para o Sistema de Submissão:
    [EN]
    Authors should detail the use of GenAIs in the manuscript and in the final version, including specifics like the tool’s name and version, the date and time of its use. Ideally, the prompts used and logs of the interactions should be attached to the work. Authors who use AI tools for manuscript writing, image production, or graphical elements of the article, or for data collection and analysis, must be transparent about how the AI tool was used and specify which tool was employed. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are therefore accountable for any violation of publication ethics (COPE, 2023). Authors are responsible for all submitted and approved content, ensuring that it is free from bias, plagiarism, fabrication, or falsification, including text and images generated by AI. It is crucial to assess biases and stereotypes perpetuated by LLMs (large language models) due to their training material. Authors must verify that content generated or reviewed by these tools is free from plagiarism.

    [PT]
    Os autores devem detalhar o uso de GenAIs no manuscrito e na versão final, incluindo especificações como nome e versão da ferramenta, data e horário da consulta. Idealmente, os prompts usados e os logs das interações devem ser anexados ao trabalho. Os autores que usam ferramentas de IA na redação de um manuscrito, na produção de imagens ou elementos gráficos do artigo, ou na coleta e análise de dados, devem ser transparentes ao divulgar nos Materiais e Métodos (ou seção similar) do artigo como a ferramenta de IA foi usada e qual ferramenta foi usada. Os autores são totalmente responsáveis pelo conteúdo de seu manuscrito, mesmo aquelas partes produzidas por uma ferramenta de IA, e, portanto, são responsáveis por qualquer violação da ética de publicação. (COPE, 2023). Autores são responsáveis por todo o conteúdo submetido e aprovado para publicação, garantindo que esteja livre de vieses, plágio, fabricação ou falsificação, incluindo textos e imagens gerados por IA. Importância de avaliar vieses e estereótipos perpetuados por LLMs (modelos de linguagem de larga escala) devido ao material de treinamento. É dever dos autores verificar se os conteúdos gerados ou revisados por essas ferramentas estão livres de plágio.

    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) / Inteligência Artificial Generativa - GenAI
    [EN]
    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is a technology that utilizes deep learning models to autonomously create new content, such as texts, images, videos, music, and even software code. Unlike conventional AI, which performs specific tasks based on predefined rules, GAI can generate something new and unpredictable based on patterns it learned during training on large datasets. Applications like ChatGPT and DALL-E are popular examples of this type of AI, widely used to automate creative and analytical tasks across various sectors, including education, design, and scientific research (Red Hat, 2023). This technology has been explored in professional environments to optimize complex processes, improve efficiency in product development, and even support scientific research. However, the use of generative AI also brings ethical and security challenges, as the content generated can be difficult to distinguish from that produced by humans, raising questions about intellectual property and misuse (SciELO, 2023).

    [PT]
    A Inteligência Artificial Generativa (IAG) é uma tecnologia que utiliza modelos de aprendizado profundo (deep learning) para criar novos conteúdos de forma autônoma, como textos, imagens, vídeos, músicas e até mesmo código de software. Diferente das IAs convencionais, que executam tarefas específicas com base em regras predefinidas, a IAG é capaz de gerar algo novo e imprevisível a partir de padrões que aprendeu durante seu treinamento em grandes volumes de dados. Aplicações como o ChatGPT e o DALL-E são exemplos populares desse tipo de IA, sendo amplamente utilizadas para automatizar tarefas criativas e analíticas em diversos setores, incluindo educação, design e pesquisa científica (Red Hat, 2023). Essa tecnologia tem sido explorada em ambientes profissionais para otimizar processos complexos, melhorar a eficiência no desenvolvimento de produtos e até apoiar pesquisas científicas. No entanto, o uso da IA generativa também traz desafios éticos e de segurança, já que o conteúdo gerado pode ser difícil de distinguir daquele produzido por humanos, levantando questões sobre propriedade intelectual e uso indevido (SciELO, 2023).
