The Imitation Game takes extreme forms in the realistic simulation of real people made with AI technologies applied to video production, such as Hygen, Sora, Veo, Runway, and others. Such simulations could only be carried out procedurally with laborious productions based on three-dimensional technologies used for cinematic special effects, which required 3D modeling of a…

Thewow effect one feels during a voice conversation with chatGPT evokes the original meaning of the Imitation Game: one has the feeling of conversing with a human intelligence. In this case, if anything, the lack of realism comes from the speed of response being excessive, since no human could write such elaborate responses in such…
Underlying intelligent personal assistants such as Alexa and Siri are several Artificial Intelligence technologies: primarily speech synthesis (speech to text, text to speech) and conversational interaction. The proper name given to Alexa and all personal assistants is an explicit anthropomorphic evocation, even in the absence of a visual representation of the human figure. The tone…
From its origins, Artificial Intelligence defines its essence in the imitation of humans. In 1950 Alan Turing, considered the father of AI, in his article “Computing machinery and intelligence,” proposed what would become known as the “Turing test,” also described as the “Imitation Game.” According to the test, a machine can be considered intelligent if…
The next challenge for artificial intelligence is to assist us in making decisions (Decision Making). Pondering how this transition might occur and what implications it might bring with it puts us in a position to perceive the ethical issue of artificial intelligence as much deeper than it may appear at first superficial approach. This passage,…
Aristotle calls man a “rational animal”(zoon logon echon), the only animal endowed with speech and rationality. As Catholic Church AI expert Paolo Benanti says, language is the most important technology of man. Today, however, Sapiens must relate to a new entity, which is not another living being but an automaton created by humans, the “automatos…
Let us return to the relationship between thought and technique, which has already been covered elsewhere in the book, particularly with reference to the technique of writing. Plato calls it a “Pharmakon” for memory, in the double sense of poison and medicine. And while Socrates, for his part, mistrusts writing, in favor of dialogue, which…
Should we also be wary of this new knowledge technique, Artificial Intelligence? Can we think of controlling it, and prevent it in the various forms of the Assistants from independently taking control of our decisions? In what areas is it conceivable to trust the choices of an Assistant, and in what applications will it be…
Isaac Asimov enunciated the three famous laws of robotics, which govern the relationship between humans and robots under the banner of protecting the former: The wide application of Artificial Intelligence in the military has largely violated these laws, creating exactly “killer robots” aimed at killing or harming humans in battle. Not even the debate on…
The enhancement of human faculties through the contribution of Artificial Intelligence can also lead to the strengthening of the negative characteristics of those faculties. Many criminals are already adopting AI technologies to carry out their plans, whether in the real or cyber world. The race to accumulate wealth and financial speculation features Big Tech, leaders…
