[Musica] [Applauso] Fin dall'antichità l'essere umano ha sempre avuto bisogno di spostare grossi massi per costruire grandi opere. È stato così nel passato. Attraverso leve e rulli in legno abbiamo costruito i templi greci.È così oggi attraverso enormi gru costruiamo i grandi ponti e sarà così anche nel futuro. I massi da spostare rimangono quindi mentre le leve che abbiamo a disposizione per spostarli diventano sempre più efficienti. Quindi possiamo dire che i problemi da risolvere, i bisogni da soddisfare ...

[Musica] Provate a chiudere gli occhi per qualche secondo. Ripensate alla vostra vita. Qual è il primo ricordo che affiora.Forse un suono, una voce familiare, una sensazione, il calore di un abbraccio, oppure un'immagine, un volto, un luogo. Ogni storia ha un inizio e la nostra storia inizia con la nascita, con il primo respiro. L'intelligenza artificiale però è nata in un modo completamente diverso da noi.non ha mai sentito il battito di un cuore, non ha mai pianta la luce del sole, è nata nel silenzio di ...
