The Internet is a formidable competitor to traditional school systems, which could collapse not only in emerging countries, which are at risk of being overwhelmed by population growth, but also in more advanced ones. Amid growing uncertainty over global leadership among the superpowers, the power of Bigh Tech companies is set to grow, particularly in…

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, we are facing, globally, a crucial crossroads for schools and educational systems in general. Let us try to look at education from a historical perspective, starting with the recent essay “Knowledge or Barbarism. History and Future of Education” by Jacques Attali, one of the greatest contemporary European intellectuals, who…
The education system has always required an anthropological model, an idea of man to guide pedagogical principles and teaching methods. The Homo Extensus paradigm, which is proposed here by the authors, is an attempt to imagine the forms of Human Intelligence in the age of Artificial Intelligence, and from these derive an innovative vision of…
Artificial Intelligence is one of the great technological innovations of the digital age, and in many ways it could evolve along the lines of previous technologies. Gartner’s curve describes the stages of the cycles of technological innovations: the trigger, the peak of expectations, the disillusionment, the rise of awareness, and the plateau of productivity. The…
Among the Mega Trends connected to Artificial Intelligence is the evolution of Hardware. In particular, Big Tech investments are focusing on new devices intended to replace existing ones, particularly the smartphone. Among the leading candidates are AI glasses, glasses integrated with artificial intelligence functions. An initial search involving mainly Meta – Marck Zuckerberg’s group whose…
Artificial intelligence will undoubtedly have a powerful impact on society and the economy, and it will radically alter the world of work. Like other industrial revolutions, it will cause the automation of many professions that may be eliminated, reduced or transformed. Moreover, the emergence of new professions enabled by artificial intelligence is very likely. The…
Like all human activities, AI must also set sustainability as its goal. Environmentally, the impact of giant AI development and delivery facilities is already significant, both in terms of energy consumption and water use. It is therefore necessary to reduce this impact, or AI will emerge as one of the major sectors responsible for climate…
We quote some passages from the Strategic Foresight Report published in 2024 by Mario Draghi for the European Commission: “. The main reason why EU productivity diverged from that of the United States in the mid-1990s was Europe’s inability to capitalize on the first Internet-driven digital revolution, both in terms of the creation of new…
Europe has so far remained on the margins of the digital revolution. The same European marginality also appears in the Artificial Intelligence era, evidenced by the gap in investment, in the creation of companies and products, and in the establishment of server farms needed to power it. At this early stage of generative AI, the…
In the global Artificial Intelligence scenario, Europe has accrued a significant lag in the developments of basic technologies, which is also difficult to bridge due to the investment gap with the US and China. However, Europe’s role cannot be limited to the function of the regulatory arbiter between the two American and Asian competitors. Europe…
