The AI Lighthouse Awards recognize Brazilian companies with more than 500 employees that turn AI into positive, measurable impact, using an independent methodology developed by Fundação Dom Cabral. It is a CI&T initiative, supported by AWS. Globo was one of the companies recognized in the first edition, in 2025.

In this panel, companies recognized in that first edition return to the stage one year later to share what has changed since the award.

On the agenda

One year later: what the awarded AI initiatives now deliver to the business.
From pilot to scale: the road between the first version and everyday operation.
Reinvent or accelerate: applying AI to existing processes or rethinking the process from scratch.
Risk and value: short-term returns, security and building for the future in the same equation.
Starting today: lessons and tips for anyone on this journey.
