Colloquium Human Beings and Machines: Stabilising and Destabilising Boundaries

« What is a machine? What is a human being? Is there a clear, stable boundary between the two? The many discussions about AI have recently renewed interest in these questions, which have haunted us for centuries. It would seem that in our relationship with machines, in the way we define and understand them, and above all in the way we identify how they are different from us, our very essence is at stake. As human beings, we define ourselves in opposition to machines. This symposium aims to question this demarcation line by challenging the oppositions between human and machine, artificial and natural, quantifiable and non-quantifiable, calculable and non-calculable. »
Tuesday April 9, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Italian time), the conference Human Beings and Machines: Stabilizing and Destabilizing Boundaries will take place. It is organized by Carla Canullo, Tiberio Uricchio and Marcello Vitali-Rosati. Several members of the chair will present: Giulia Ferretti, Margot Mellet and Marcello Vitali-Rosati!
Accessible in person at Università di Macerata, aula Omero Proietti. Via Garibaldi 20, third floor or via videoconference.
