For decades there have been artists who have approached various types of artificial intelligence with freedom, critical and analytical spirit and drive for innovation. In 2018 the Obvious art collective used the “Edmond De Belamy” algorithm to create the first artwork generated by artificial intelligence recognized and sold in an official context.

In the 20th century, traditional visual arts, based on manual production processes, were gradually joined by art that focuses on conceptual processes and seeks to return them to a physical, material but also electronic form. Marcel Duchamp inaugurated a conceptual direction that would become dominant in contemporary art, shifting the focus from creating material works…
Art has followed the evolution of human intelligence for millennia. Well before writing, art records intelligence, extracts it from the body, makes it shareable, often transportable and eternal. It is not, however, verbal intelligence, as in the case of the alphabet, but visual intelligence, or, more broadly speaking, bodily intelligence. Scholars of paleoanthropology trace the…
The start of President Donald Trump’s second term marked a turning point in the trade and industrial policy of the world’s largest power. According to some observers, behind the tariffs and the alliance with the leaders of multinational tech companies, there is a global strategy aimed at profoundly changing the logic of globalization, refounding U.S….
Algorithmic trading involves the use of artificial intelligence systems to make trading decisions at speeds many orders of magnitude faster than any human being is capable of doing, making millions of trades in a day without human intervention. Clearly, such technologies pose ethical and geopolitical problems. The use of artificial intelligence in applications such as…
Ai application research in the defense sector focuses on intelligence collection and analysis, logistics, cyber operations, information operations, and the design of semiautonomous and autonomous weapons and vehicles. Artificial intelligence technologies enable coordination of sensors and effectors, threat detection and identification, marking enemy positions, target acquisition, and coordination of distributed joint fires between networked combat…
In agriculture, artificial intelligence, connected to IoT sensors (which connect objects to the Internet), supports farmers in identifying areas in need of irrigation by monitoring temperature, moisture or soil conditions such as nutrient levels; the data collected also provides useful indications for fertilization or pesticide treatments and helps the farmer to maintain optimal conditions for…
AI technologies are being applied in the energy field for energy waste reduction, renewable energy integration, and grid monitoring. In this field, machine learning can be effeciently used for energy consumption forecasting and planning, for example, to optimize renewable energy intermittency management strategies. The complexity of the energy transition, which has technological, social, environmental, economic,…
Regarding the broad topic of the environment, the application of AI technologies is useful in a variety of areas, from climate change prediction, to waste management, to biodiversity conservation; machine learning can then be used to detect premonitory signs of environmental disasters and problems, including natural pandemics, earthquakes, landslides, heavy rainfall, long-term reliability of water…
Self-driving cars are a revolutionary challenge that will impact the entire automotive and transportation industry in general. At present, there are fully autonomous driving solutions that are reliable only under certain conditions. There are still ethical and legal problems to be resolved in the event of an accident, when dramatic choices have to be made…
