The whole truth. Artificial intelligence and society
Institutional Communication Service
Date: 2 October 2024 / 18:30
The digital world in which we are surrounded is based on artificial intelligence algorithms, which direct many of our daily actions. With AI, we nurture networks of friendships, promote tastes, create truths. Even fake ones, but which become real, so real as to condition the outcome of elections and guide opinions and consumer behaviour. Real and artificial merge, posing unprecedented challenges to our societies, bridging technology, knowledge and democracy.
Next Wednesday 2 October, at 6.30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Lugano Campus, the Associazione Carlo Battaglini - in collaboration with USI - is hosting a debate on the topic between Teresa Numerico, Associate Professor at the University of Roma Tre, and author of Big Data e algoritmi. Prospettive critiche, 2022 (Big Data and Algorithms. Critical Perspectives, 2022), Andrea Daniele Signorelli (expert in digital innovation and journalist on a number of leading Italian newspapers including Wired, La Repubblica and Domani) and Gabriele Balbi, Full Professor and lecturer in media history at USI.
