In the days November 18th and 19th (Monday and Tuesday), the Brazilian Association of the Machinery and Equipment Industry (ABIMAQ) promotes, online, via the zoom platform, the course ‘Finance for buyers’.
Aimed at professionals who work in companies’ financial processes, the course will provide participants with a practical understanding of how purchasing operations impact the company’s cash flow and results (profit or loss), so that they can make the best decisions .
Taught by the financial and tax consultant, Melice Infante Finatothe class will bring to the attention of those enrolled the following topics:
– Is finance an exact science or is it subject to interpretation?
– Differences between BP and DRE
– How do BP and DRE demonstrate service contracting and purchases for operation, use/consumption and fixed assets?
– How does cash flow relate to BP and DRE? How do purchasing operations impact these records?
– Financial KPIs for purchases using BP and DRE
– What is EBITDA? How do purchasing operations impact this indicator?
Service: Course – Finance for buyers:
Data: November 18th and 19th (Monday and Tuesday)

**Interview with Dr. Lisa Chow, AI Expert and Author**
**Date:** November 7, 2024
**Location:** Studio A, Innovation Hub
**Interviewer:** Good afternoon, Dr. Chow! Thank you for joining us today to discuss some of the key components of artificial intelligence, especially in light of the recent interview questions released for 2024.
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** Thank you for having me! I’m excited to delve into these topics with you.
**Interviewer:** To start, can you briefly explain what an expert system is and its primary components?
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** Certainly! An expert system is a type of artificial intelligence that uses knowledge and inference procedures to solve problems that would typically require human expertise. The primary components of an expert system include a knowledge base, which stores facts and rules, an inference engine that applies the rules to the knowledge base to deduce new information, and a user interface for interaction. Additionally, there is often an explanation facility that helps users understand the reasoning behind the system’s conclusions.
**Interviewer:** That’s really insightful. In the context of AI advancements, how significant do you think the understanding of these components is for professionals in the field today?
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** Understanding these components is crucial for anyone working in AI, especially because expert systems are still prevalent in various domains like medical diagnosis, financial forecasting, and technical support. An in-depth knowledge helps professionals design more effective systems and troubleshoot issues more efficiently. As we see the evolution of AI technologies, grasping these fundamentals remains relevant.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned the inference engine. Can you explain what role it plays in the functioning of an expert system?
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** The inference engine is essentially the brain of the expert system. It processes the information in the knowledge base and applies logical rules to deduce conclusions or make decisions. This can be done through different methods, such as forward chaining or backward chaining, depending on the scenario. It enables the system to simulate human reasoning by using the existing knowledge effectively to arrive at solutions.
**Interviewer:** That’s fascinating! As we look forward to the future of AI, what emerging trends should professionals be aware of?
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** One emerging trend is the integration of machine learning with traditional expert systems, making them more dynamic and capable of learning from new data. Additionally, there’s a growing emphasis on ethical AI and how we ensure these systems are used responsibly and without bias. Professionals should also pay attention to advancements in natural language processing, which can significantly enhance user interactions with expert systems.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Chow! This has been an enlightening discussion on the key components and future of artificial intelligence.
**Dr. Lisa Chow:** Thank you! I enjoyed our conversation and look forward to seeing how AI continues to evolve.
**Interviewer:** And that wraps up our interview for today. Stay tuned for more updates on artificial intelligence and its impact across various industries.
