Nasce la rubrica Etica dell’Intelligenza Artificiale sulla rivista “Bioetica. Rivista Interdisciplinare”
Bioetica. Rivista interdisciplinare per tre decenni è stata il punto di riferimento per la riflessione bioetica italiana: nei primi anni ’90 è stata la prima a lanciare in Italia l’idea del testamento biologico, che allora appariva assurda o insensata, ma che oggi è prevista dalla Legge Lenzi 219/17. Nell’anno 2000 ha fornito il materiale della vicenda […]
Will an AI be the first to discover alien life?
Ma, P.X., Ng, C., Rizk, L. et al. A deep-learning search for technosignatures from 820 nearby stars. Nat Astron 7, 492–502 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-022-01872-z Abstract The goal of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to quantify the prevalence of technological life beyond Earth via their ‘technosignatures’. One theorized technosignature is narrowband Doppler drifting radio signals. […]
How AI Fails Us
Divya Siddarth, Daron Acemoglu, Danielle Allen, Kate Crawford, James Evans, Michael Jordan, E. Glen Weyl (December 1, 2021). Abstract The dominant vision of artificial intelligence imagines a future of large-scale autonomous systems outperforming humans in an increasing range of fields. This “actually existing AI” vision misconstrues intelligence as autonomous rather than social and relational. It […]
The Turing Trap: The Promise & Peril of Human-Like Artificial Intelligence
Erik Brynjolfsson AbstractIn 1950, Alan Turing proposed a test of whether a machine was intelligent: could a machine imitate a human so well that its answers to questions were indistinguishable from a human’s? Ever since, creating intelligence that matches human intelligence has implicitly or explicitly been the goal of thousands of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. […]
Proposal for a sovereign and democratic digitalisation of Europe
Abstract This reflection paper has been produced at the request of the cabinet of the President of the European Parliament. Digital transformation is currently at the core of the European agenda.
