Love Serenade: a Sweet Not So Tasty

Abstract

Objective: This teaching case seeks to discuss the applications of a civic initiative to monitor public spending by federal deputies in Brazil. Data Source: It is an open Data Science project that uses the same artificial intelligence and Machine learning technologies used by giants like Google, Microsoft and Netflix to monitor the use of indemnity funds (Quotas for the Exercise of Parliamentary Activity) granted to parliamentarians and share information in an accessible way to anyone, so that the citizen with a minimum of knowledge can inspect and audit such expenses. Context: The Serenata created Rosie, an artificial intelligence capable of analyzing the expenses reimbursed by the Quota for Exercising Parliamentary Activity of federal deputies and senators, made in the exercise of their function, identifying suspicions and encouraging the population to question them and with her, Jarbas, a dashboard that makes it easy to view all the information monitored by Rosie. Application: disciplines of technologist courses, undergraduate and graduate courses, lato sensu and strictu sensu of Administration, Information Systems and the like, in subjects related to Data Science, Machine Learning and Open Data.
