Curated by Gianni Biagi, INU – URBIT
The use of AI is starting to be a collective fact and with moral, ethical and social implications of great relevance, and it is now an often daily experience to encounter AI in our lives. A meeting that is not always completely aware. Philosophers, theologians, technocrats and ordinary citizens have been wondering for some time now about the practical implications of the new technological revolution and also about aspects related to the possible influence on social behaviour, on the learning and education of people, on aspects related to working conditions.
The conference intends to address these issues by trying to understand what the implications of the use of AI could be in the design and management of cities (the place where over half of the world’s population now lives) and what new tools it can offer to designers, politicians, administrators to design cities and contexts of social life capable of satisfying the new life needs of new and old citizens. With particular attention to aspects related to climate change and the implications these entail in urban management and transformation. Try to do this by also comparing two different generations. On the one hand, those who have been dealing with and studying these aspects of technological evolution and its implications for social behaviour and the city for years, and on the other, students.
The conference ends with the presentation of the works by Unifi students.
