SIX MEMOS FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM AND THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN HUMANITY AND TECHNOLOGY

“The human has no boundaries except those we impose.” — Italo Calvino
Moderatore: Massimo Sideri

In collaboration with the University of Messina

Software will triumph over hardware—so predicted Italo Calvino in his memo on Lightness. And in many ways, that prophecy has already been fulfilled before our eyes, with the advent of ChatGPT. Yet even artificial intelligence, we’re discovering, relies on infrastructure, regulation, and, paradoxically, gravity.
