As I continue my own journey into the world of Artificial Intelligence, I often find comfort and inspiration in stories of people who saw the world differently. Recently, during my first lecture at Bologna Business School, I came across the name Ada Lovelace. Learning about this woman immediately caught my attention. Maybe it’s because I… Read More Ada Lovelace – a poetical scientist

During the AI and Neurotechnologies: Towards Neurorights? lecture last month, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun” came up in the discussion. I noted it down and ended up reading it as soon as I got home from the training. The book isn’t “about technology” in a technical way, but it creates a space to explore… Read More Reading “Klara and the Sun”: On consciousness & understanding

When I first encountered discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) versus Natural Intelligence (NI)—machine intelligence compared to human intelligence—I realized how closely they intersect with broader philosophical movements. This takes me back to my first lecture at the Lumsa Human Academy last month. It was also the day I decided to start writing down the thoughts… Read More AI, Human-Centrism, and Beyond: A Beginner’s Reflection

As someone who hasn’t been a TV addict since an early age, I often find myself catching up—and taking notes—on TV series and films that are frequently referenced in discussions about AI and ethics. Sometimes this feels a bit embarrassing, as many of these productions aired nearly a decade ago—but I’m trying to get used… Read More When Memory Becomes Data: What ‘Crocodile’ Teaches Us About AI Ethics

In 1956, a small group of scientists imagined machines that could think—now 70 years later, we’re still asking what that really means. From what I’ve read so far, Artificial Intelligence (AI) doesn’t seem to have a single, universally accepted definition—and that alone makes the topic fascinating. At the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop, where John McCarthy first… Read More Defining AI: From Dartmouth to the EU AI Act— the meaning of intelligence still raises questions
