We humans & Artificial Intelligence, what synergies ?
If we were to give a single definition that would allow us to better understand the topic, we could say that Artificial Intelligence is nothing more than a toolbox...
Marco Landi born in Chianciano Terme, Tuscany, is the former president of Apple World and Texas Instruments EMEA & APAC. He is currently President of Questit, an expert in innovation, technologies and Artificial Intelligence. He created the EuropIA Institute in France. He has published several books : da Chianciano a Cupertino, Business Humanum Est, Intelligenza Artificiale per Umani
Chiara Sottocorona born in Padua (Veneto), has lived in France for a long time, is a journalist (Scanno Prize for Journalism, Smau Prize for IT popularization). She has been writing about new technologies for 30 years for «L’Economia,» economic supplement of Il Corriere della Sera, and before that she was editor of the weekly «Panorama» (Mondadori) in Rome. As a director, she produced the documentary «Silicon Valley Story» for RAI. She also taught Journalism 2.0 for six years at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis. He has published several books including : #A.I. Challenge-Amica o nemica ? - Come l’intelligenza artificiale cambia la nostra vita (Hoepli, 2019) et I protagonisti della rivoluzione digitale (Muzzio – Editori Riuniti, 2003).
Artificial intelligence has become capable of mimicking human beings, getting better and better, and replacing them in many functions and activities. We now know that it may one day surpass it. Generative AI has triggered the next great technological transformation, The Next Bing Thing, as the Americans say.
This time, however, it will not only be technological : it is the whole of society and humanity itself that is likely to be transformed. Will we be empowered, « increased « in our knowledge and capabilities with the support of ‘artificial intelligence, or rather « diminished, « reduced to unsuspecting performers, in the service of a Super Intelligence ?
«AI still remains an enigma, arousing too much easy enthusiasm and apocalyptic fears.
But it is still a man-made technology. Future developments will depend on how it is used, who will enhance it and for what purposes, and how and who will control it. We are at the beginning of a complex path and of an undoubtedly risky transformation of our way of life, which must invest the conscience of everyone.
It is no longer time to leave it to those who design and own Artificial Intelligences alone, the issue is no longer just technological, it is political : strategic choices are needed in the economy and in society, norms and safeguards, information and education.
It is not possible to give an unambiguous definition of Artificial Intelligence, because there is not just one, but many different types. When the pioneers in the field chose this name in the mid-1950s, they no doubt thought in their enthusiasm that they could mathematically describe and imitate the functions of a neuron, then those of a network of neurons, and, by extrapolation, build an artificial human brain that could reproduce one of these capabilities, “intelligence”.It is not possible to give an unambiguous definition of Artificial Intelligence, because there is not just one, but many different types.
