For some time now, more and more technology companies have incorporated talent from the Humanities and Social Sciences into their decision-making positions. These profiles, closer to the human phenomenon, can better understand the integration of technical solutions in society. Companies and public entities are verifying that work in Big Data, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning, need both a human interpretation of the information and an ethical guide in data collection, as well as a truly scientific curiosity that, in addition to thinking about how to discover the answers, also imagines and designs the questions. For this, in a world in which humanity generates complex variables for analysis, it is necessary to understand reality and weigh the social and cultural contexts. Thus, it is not only important to know the how, but also the why and for what.
