Art and Technology in the Age ofArtificial intelligence
In the enchanting setting of the courtyard of the Gambalunga Library, two influential thinkers in the world of communications and technology will meet for a memorable evening. Sergio Ramazzotti and Mirco Tangherlini will discuss the interaction between art, communications, and artificial intelligence (AI). The meeting, titled "Snapshots on AI," is more than just an event; it's a moment of discovery and reflection on how artificial intelligence is redefining the way we live, feel, and communicate.
How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Communication
Human communication is a subtle and complex art. But in a world increasingly dominated by technology and artificial intelligence, how are the dynamics of communication changing? Chatbots, for example, are already playing a role in customer service, solving problems and answering questions 24/7. At the same time, recommendation algorithms are personalizing our social media experiences, to the point of influencing not only our consumer choices but also our political and social opinions. How do these developments impact the authenticity of our communication?
Emotions and Artificial Intelligence: A Complex Relationship
While emotions were once the exclusive domain of humans, artificial intelligence is now making great strides in recognizing and generating emotions. Facial recognition apps can now read human expressions and adjust a virtual assistant's responses accordingly. But what does all this mean for the human experience? Are we on a path toward an emotional symbiosis between humans and machines, or are we risking watering down the richness of our emotional experiences?
Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Beyond Traditional Barriers
Art, one of the oldest means of human expression, has not been immune to the incursion of artificial intelligence. From algorithmically generating music and paintings to using AI to analyze and interpret artworks, the possibilities seem endless. But is this symbiosis between art and technology truly fruitful? Can artificial intelligence enhance the creative process, or is there a risk of losing the "human" touch that makes art unique and unrepeatable?
Opportunities and Threats: Checks and Balances in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
No technology is free from potential threats, and artificial intelligence is no exception. From algorithmic discrimination to the ethically questionable use of AI in surveillance, the risks are real and growing. However, the opportunities are equally extraordinary. From advances in personalized medicine to the automation of dangerous jobs, AI has the power to improve the quality of life on a global scale.
“Snapshots on AI” It's more than just an event. It's a starting point for a conversation that extends beyond the duration of an evening. In a world where art and technology are increasingly intertwined, we must take the time to reflect on how artificial intelligence will impact our lives in ways we can't yet imagine. Sergio Ramazzotti and Mirco Tangherlini offer us this opportunity: a moment to pause, think, and perhaps even dream about the future we are building.
