FGV e IBGC firmam acordo de cooperação e promovem debate sobre ética e inteligência artificial

At the beginning of the month, the Center for Studies in Ethics, Transparency, Integrity and Compliance (FGVethics) and the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) signed a cooperation agreement, consolidating their mutual commitment to promoting ethical and innovative practices in the field of corporate governance. The agreement was drawn up with the institutional support of Ricardo Oberlander, whose work was essential to its implementation.

To celebrate the partnership, the institutions held the webinar “Corporate Governance and Ethics in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” at the São Paulo School of Business Administration (FGV EAESP). The event was opened by Prof. Ligia Maura Costa, general coordinator of FGVethics, and moderated by Valeria Café, general director of IBGC. The debate brought together renowned experts such as Patricia Peck, CEO and founding partner of the Peck Institute for Digital Citizenship; Rodolfo Fücher, chairman of the board of the Brazilian Association of Software Companies (ABES); and Walquíria Favero, partner at Machado Melo e Favero Advogados.

The participants discussed the challenges and opportunities that the implementation of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, brings to the top management of companies. Transparency, accountability and ethical impacts on corporate decision-making were some of the central themes addressed.

According to Ligia Maura Costa, "corporate governance and ethics in the age of artificial intelligence are challenges that require an ongoing commitment to integrity and transparency. As Ban Ki-moon pointed out, ‘technology must be guided by solid ethical principles if it is to truly serve society’. This was at the heart of the debate promoted by FGVethics and IBGC, reinforcing the importance of responsible governance in the use of new technologies. The partnership between our institutions represents a significant step towards building guidelines that align innovation and fundamental values."

As well as encouraging reflection on ethics and technology, the event marked a significant step forward in cooperation between FGVethics and IBGC, reaffirming the institutions' commitment to corporate governance practices that promote sustainability, compliance and trust in the business environment.
