Abstract

Recent advances in Computing reinforce the need for technological systems that are simultaneously ethical, inclusive, sustainable, and committed to participation and social equity. This article discusses how Brazil can develop computing ecosystems that unite technology, social responsibility, and diversity, articulating people training, social innovation, and citizen participation. The analysis is based on guidelines presented in the document "Major Challenges of Computing in Brazil 2025–2035" by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and highlights possible paths to build a more just digital future.
