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. This discussion explores the role of writing—from hieroglyphs to the introduction of vowels that enabled the rise of Greek philosophy—as both an exercise in thought and a lifeline in a world that increasingly seems to be moving beyond the written word.
Moderated by Massimo Sideri, Corriere della Sera.
