Artificial Intelligence increasingly in our lives; how much and how it will affect our daily lives.
The new volume “Artificial Intelligence: distingue frequenter. An Interdisciplinary Look” produced by the CNR Interdepartmental Center for Research Ethics and Integrity in collaboration with the Scientific Council of the Courtyard of Gentiles analyzes several issues that are well emphasized in Giuliano Amato’s preface:
“In this short document there will be no Luddite stances, and no vade retro, towards innovation, and thus towards Artificial Intelligence itself. On the contrary, readers will see a unanimous acknowledgement of its formidable contribution to our progress in the most diverse fields. And yet they will also see a unanimous indication of possible and indeed necessary areas of limits, with the no less necessary clarification that some of these limits must be established by regulations, while others can only lie in the conscience of researchers.” “if all this is sufficiently shared, if society with its laws on the one hand, and research with its ethical code on the other, will be able to hold the torch entrusted to them, we shall confidently rely on AI: and avail ourselves of its benefits, do not dramatize our difficulties in distinguishing Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony from the one composed in part by the computer, and learn to recognise, by speaking to each other, whether students have written their papers or whether it was done by ChatGPT. It won’t be this that will carry us into those waters where, quoting our father Dante: “over us the booming billow closed”. Those waters are a still looming ahead and it is up to us, all of us, to prevent humanity from falling into them.”
