Validation comes through interviews with specialists, in combination with research and analysis of study cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ultimate goal of this dissertation is to promote the benefits of AI usage such as productivity, efficiency, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curricular Unit:<\/strong><br>Dissertation\/Project\/Internship (2nd year) \u2014 Dissertation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supervisor:<\/strong> Pedro Amado<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/?page_id=1444\">See the <em>P\u00e1ginas Mestras<\/em> exhibition (2024) \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital fonts were first introduced worldwide during the later decades of the 20th century when typography transitioned from metallic letters to digital ones.
