The human condition in the age of ICT and AI

Abstract

Technological civilization is distinguished by the interpenetration of doing (techne) and knowing (episteme), which gives human beings an unprecedented power to manipulate reality. This framework includes Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), which indicate the study and development of systems that receive, process and transmit data and information, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which indicates the study and development of computational information systems that replicate intelligent human conduct, which are innovating the socio-economic fabric, reconfiguring relationships and shaping existence. This is what we intend to document, investigating how technology conditions the human experience and how human beings are called to inhabit the technological age.
