Google triplica meta e promete capacitar 3 milhões de brasileiros em IA e computação em nuvem; veja como participar

Web Summit Rio 2026 Reprodução O Google Cloud, divisão de computação em nuvem do Google, anunciou nesta terça-feira (9), durante o Web Summit Rio 2026, que vai triplicar sua meta de capacitação em inteligência artificial e tecnologias de computação em nuvem, passando de 1 milhão para 3 milhões de brasileiros treinados nos próximos anos. A nova meta amplia um compromisso assumido pela empresa durante a edição de 2025 do evento, quando havia anunciado o objetivo de preparar 1 milhão de pessoas para a economia digital. 📱Baixe o app do g1 para ver notícias do RJ em tempo real e de graça Segundo o Google Cloud, a decisão de elevar a meta ocorre em razão da aceleração dos investimentos destinados a programas de treinamento no Brasil. Emprego em tecnologia: IA ganha espaço, mas segurança da informação domina contratações Como parte desse novo compromisso, a empresa também anunciou uma nova edição do Capacita+, iniciativa voltada à formação em inteligência artificial e computação em nuvem. A expectativa é capacitar 200 mil pessoas somente no Brasil em um único dia, durante uma programação marcada para 25 de setembro, em São Paulo, paralelamente ao Google Cloud Summit Brasil. Empregos em risco O anúncio foi feito pela country manager do Google Cloud no Brasil, Milena Leal, durante o painel "O próximo passo: da expectativa aos resultados", no palco principal do Web Summit Rio. A apresentação também contou com a participação da CEO da Netshoes, Graciela Kumruian. “No Google Cloud, nosso objetivo é sermos o parceiro ideal da sociedade para desenvolver o futuro do trabalho no Brasil e na América Latina, facilitando a conexão entre talentos e empresas". "Estamos preparando a próxima geração de talentos com as ferramentas que já estão moldando o mercado de trabalho atual e, por isso, triplicamos nosso compromisso com o país e estamos renovando o Capacita+”, destaca Milena Leal. Para Milena Leal, o maior risco não é a inteligência artificial substituir diretamente os trabalhadores, mas a falta de qualificação para lidar com a tecnologia. "Vai ser mandado embora do emprego, vai deixar de existir por causa da IA? Não, mas se você não souber lidar com a AI, provavelmente você vai ser mandado embora", comentou Milena. Profissionais brasileiros contam como é trabalhar com inteligência artificial Rafael Leal/g1 A executiva afirmou que a resistência às novas tecnologias é natural e que ampliar o acesso ao conhecimento é fundamental. "Todo mundo tem medo do novo. Quem não tem medo do novo? Eu tenho medo do novo. Você ter que se deparar e começar a usar alguma coisa que você não sabe, dá aquele frio na barriga de cometer um erro (...). Então, levar o conhecimento é fundamental". Segundo Milena, a intenção da empresa é democratizar o acesso ao conhecimento em inteligência artificial e preparar profissionais para o mercado de trabalho. "A nossa intenção é preparar os brasileiros para terem acesso a essa informação de forma gratuita e aprenderem cada um dentro do seu nível, com o desejo que querem em termos de desenvolvimento, mas para estar preparado para o mercado de trabalho, porque é muito importante e é compromisso de todos nós". Como será o novo Capacita+ Segundo a empresa, a edição de 2026 do Capacita+ pretende democratizar o acesso ao conhecimento em inteligência artificial para estudantes e profissionais de diferentes áreas. Além de uma programação presencial exclusiva durante o Google Cloud Summit Brasil, o evento contará com transmissão ao vivo realizada em parceria com mais de 100 universidades espalhadas pelo país. O Google Cloud afirma que continuará oferecendo programas de formação por meio de cursos gratuitos em português disponíveis no YouTube, certificações pela plataforma Google Skills e iniciativas desenvolvidas com a comunidade Google Developer Groups.

Programa já entrou para o Guinness A edição realizada em dezembro de 2025 entrou para o GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ como a maior aula híbrida e simultânea sobre inteligência artificial já realizada, segundo a empresa. Patricia Florissi, diretora técnica do Google Cloud, durante o Web Summit Rio 2025 Vaughn Ridley/Web Summit via Sportsfile Na ocasião, o Capacita+ contou com a participação de 50 universidades distribuídas por nove países da América Latina: Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Colômbia, Equador, El Salvador, Peru, México e Uruguai. Desde 2023, o Google Cloud afirma manter parcerias com 500 universidades na América Latina, sendo 140 delas no Brasil, incluindo instituições como SENAI-SP, PUC-MG, Insper, Mackenzie, Vitru e Cogna. Além dos cursos, a empresa também mantém iniciativas como uma feira de empregos voltada à conexão entre estudantes e empresas e o The Arcade Facilitator Program, que utiliza uma dinâmica de gamificação para o aprendizado de tecnologias da plataforma Google Cloud.

JAAC strike: Markets, streets deserted in AJK's Muzaffarabad but no demonstrations held

MUZAFFARABAD: Shops and markets were largely shut and vehicular traffic remained minimal in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), on Tuesday as the newly proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) observed a strike. Meanwhile, AJK Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore urged a return to the negotiating table in a bid to end the tensions that have gripped the region over the past few days. During the day, Muzaffarabad’s streets were deserted, with hardly any vehicles on the roads. Riot police and paramilitary personnel remained deployed in the city. However, no demonstrations were witnessed in the capital. Meanwhile, reports from Mirpur said that hundreds of people had gathered in the town’s Quaid-i-Azam stadium. “Shops are closed here and traffic is off the roads,” local journalist Sajjad Jarral told Dawn by telephone. Witnesses in Kotli said that while the area observed a complete shutter-down and wheel-jam strike, hundreds of people led by JAAC core member Imtiaz Aslam were heading towards Poonch district via Tatta Pani. Another big rally led by JAAC core member Khawaja Mehran from Dadyal also entered Kotli for onward march towards Poonch. The legal fraternity of AJK boycotted judicial proceedings on AJK Bar Council’s call to protest the alleged arrest of senior lawyer Amjad Ali Khan, a core member of the JAAC. JAAC’s protest call for today centred on a highly contentious demand to abolish the 12 seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly that are reserved for refugees from Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir who settled in mainland Pakistan after 1947. JAAC alleges that these seats were often used by mainstream Pakistani political parties to influence the formation of governments in Muzaffarabad. The government, on the other hand, maintains that it is a constitutional matter and cannot be decided by one group. ‘Find a way out through talks’ In a post on X, the AJK premier reiterated his call for the issue to be resolved through talks. “Please come back to the negotiating table. I’m requesting everyone on daily basis to resolve matters through discussions instead of fire and blood,” Rathore wrote on X. He added that the protesters’ “abusive comments, constant threats and senseless agitation” were not helpful to anyone in AJK. “A political activist without the ability to debate and negotiate is like a pilot without the ability to fly an airplane. They both end up causing hurt and damage to people behind them,” the PPP leader remarked. “Everyone recognises your rights and liberties,” the AJK PM assured, stressing that both sides needed to “remain calm and find a way out through talks”. “The only weapon a political activist carries is his reasoning and negotiation skills,” Rathore said. In an interview he shared on X, Rathore noted that the PPP, PML-N and the JAAC had their own stances on the issue of reserved seats for refugees, but he emphasised there was “space for a path forward”. He remarked that protests by the JAAC could not secure a two-thirds majority in the assembly that was needed for a constitutional amendment, under which changes to refugee seats could be made. HRCP expresses concern over ‘escalating confrontation’ Separately, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said it was “deeply concerned by the escalating confrontation” in AJK and the loss of life among both protesters and law enforcement personnel. It urged an “immediate de-escalation of tensions and an impartial investigation into all deaths and injuries”. “The state must remember that proscribing popular movements invariably risks narrowing democratic space. Demands for constitutional change should be pursued through peaceful, representative and democratic processes rather than confrontation and violence,” the HRCP stressed. The HRCP had previously also expressed concern over the proscribing of JAAC. On Friday, the AJK government declared JAAC a proscribed organisation, stating that it was “engaged in terrorism” and had acted in a manner “prejudicial to peace and security” of the state. A day later, AJK authorities launched a crackdown on the JAAC, arresting scores of its leaders and activists from different areas. But tensions in the region particularly flared up after a violent protest in Rawalakot, during which at least four law enforcement personnel and seven civilians lost their lives. Islamabad has also dispatched federal paramilitary forces to reinforce the region’s thinly stretched police force, and intending visitors have been advised to postpone their trips until June 20.

H-1B filings rise at OpenAI, Anthropic & Nvidia

OpenAI, Anthropic and Nvidia increased their H-1B visa filings in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, even as several other major technology companies reduced their use of the programme, according to federal labour data, as cited by Business Insider.The rise comes amid an intensifying competition for artificial intelligence talent and follows a US federal court decision to block the Trump administration's proposed $100,000 fee on certain H-1B visa applicants living overseas.AI companies are continuing to expand their search for highly specialised researchers, engineers and infrastructure experts despite growing uncertainty around US immigration policies and higher costs associated with hiring foreign workers, according to Business Insider report.ALSO READ: Trump's $100,000 H-1B visa fee is unlawful, US judge rulesAI firms buck wider industry trendAccording to the report, foreign-born workers with specialised skills have become increasingly important to the talent strategies of AI companies as the pool of qualified candidates remains limited.Anthropic recorded the sharpest year-on-year increase among the companies reviewed. The AI startup filed 59 certified H-1B applications in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up from 10 during the same period a year earlier.OpenAI's certified applications rose from 20 to 63 over the same period, while Nvidia's filings increased to 765 from 641.In contrast, several technology giants reported declines. Meta's certified applications fell 3 per cent year-on-year to 1,715. Microsoft's filings dropped 20 per cent to 1,993, while Amazon's declined 30 per cent to 4,241. Google recorded the steepest fall among the group, with applications dropping 64 per cent to 1,844.The differing hiring patterns highlight a shift within the technology sector, where companies are reducing overall headcount while investing heavily in smaller teams focused on artificial intelligence and advanced research.H-1B policy changes reshape hiring landscape The H-1B programme has undergone significant changes in recent months. New regulations now give higher-paid applicants a greater chance of selection in the annual visa lottery, shifting the system in favour of experienced and highly compensated professionals.

Indian firms turn cautious on hiring: Report

New Delhi, Corporate India is expected to scale back hiring plans in the July-September quarter of this year, signaling a slowdown in hiring momentum, as employers are likely to opt for a more measured approach to hiring amid rising geopolitical challenges, a survey said on Tuesday.According to ManpowerGroup's latest Employment Outlook Survey, the Net Employment Outlook (NEO) for Q3 2026 stood at 48 per cent, down 20 points from the previous quarter but stronger by 6 points since Q3 2025.The Net Employment Outlook (NEO) is derived by taking the percentage of employers anticipating an increase in hiring activity and subtracting from this the percentage of employers expecting a decrease in hiring activity.In the survey of more than 3,100 employers across India conducted from April 1 to 30, 2026, employers cited economic uncertainty, above AI, as the key driver of hiring uncertainty."India's Q3 2026 hiring outlook remains the strongest globally, with a Net Employment Outlook of 48 per cent, reflecting continued employer confidence in the country's growth trajectory despite an increasingly complex business environment," said Sandeep Gulati, Managing Director, ManpowerGroup India and Middle East.As per the report, 15 per cent of those considering workforce expansion remain optimistic about identifying growth opportunities despite ongoing geopolitical challenges.Among organisations planning to reduce staff, 31 per cent cited economic challenges, while 27 per cent pointed to geopolitical challenges as the primary factor impacting staff decisions. Around 26 per cent of those uncertain about changing staffing cite Geopolitical challenges, and 20 per cent want to keep things stable as a result."While the outlook has moderated from 68 per cent in the previous quarter, the shift reflects a more measured approach to hiring rather than a slowdown in business confidence," Gulati said.According to Gulati, strong activity across manufacturing and services, along with the continued expansion of Global Capability Centres, continues to support hiring demand. At the same time, employers are navigating a broader mix of challenges, including AI-led workforce optimization, softer entry-level hiring demand, global trade uncertainty, and geopolitical developments that are impacting supply chains and business costs.A sector-wise analysis showed that employers across the Utilities & Natural Resources sector reported the highest NEO for Q3 at 61 per cent, followed by finance and insurance at 56 per cent, construction and real estate (55 per cent) and professional, scientific and technical services at 52 per cent."The survey also points to a clear evolution in workforce priorities. Employers are increasingly seeking talent with strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills, reflecting the growing need for adaptable and resilient workforces," Gulati said.As businesses continue to navigate changing market conditions, workforce strategies are becoming more focused on capability building, continuous learning, and long-term talent development. Organisations are looking beyond immediate hiring needs and investing in skills that can support productivity, innovation, and sustainable growth, said Gulati.The survey further noted that AI continues to reshape how organizations think about productivity and the workforce, and the Q3 data shows employers aren't ready to hand over the keys to AI entirely.As employers navigate AI integration, people skills command the highest premiums, revealing where human value is increasingly concentrating: communication and collaboration (87 per cent), problem solving (84 per cent), time management (82 per cent)/strong work ethic (82 per cent), the survey said.

US judge blocks Trump’s $100,000 fee for H-1B visas

WASHINGTON: A United States federal judge has blocked a controversial Trump administration rule that would have required a $100,000 fee for each new H-1B visa application, it emerged on Tuesday. US President Donald Trump had ordered the annual fee be added to H-1B skilled worker visas in September 2025. H-1B visas allow companies to sponsor foreign workers with specialised skills — such as scientists, engineers, and computer programmers — to work in the US, initially for three years, but extendable to six years. Judge Leo Sorokin ruled that the charge was effectively a tax, and therefore illegal because only the US Congress has the authority to create new taxes. The decision came after 20 state attorneys general, all Democrats, filed a legal challenge. They argued that the fee would make it harder for public universities, schools, and hospitals to hire qualified international staff. The Trump administration had defended the policy, saying the president had the power to impose the fee as part of immigration enforcement and efforts to limit certain categories of foreign entry into the US. The court rejected that argument. Judge Sorokin said the government could not re-label a tax as a “fee” or “penalty” to bypass congressional approval. The H-1B visa system allows up to 65,000 new visas per year, plus an additional 20,000 for people with advanced degrees. Normally, employers pay a few thousand dollars in administrative and processing costs for each H-1B application. The $100,000 charge was far higher than standard practice and widely seen as a major barrier. Court records showed that only a small number of employers — about 85 — had paid the fee before it was challenged in court and effectively halted.
