Faced with the challenges of Artificial Intelligence, there is a need for a mutation in the DNA of human intelligence, as was the case with the techno-cognitive revolutions of the past. An initial response to this need for profound change is foreshadowed by the anthropological paradigm of Homo Extensus, which, moreover, is entirely still to…

There is a fundamental question related to the Homo Extensus paradigm: will the enhancement of human intelligence, enabled by AI, only affect positive characteristics or also negative ones? Of course, it would be a problem if we find ourselves dealing with masses of criminals, mercenaries or scammers with capabilities extended by Artificial Intelligence. In some…
The growing importance of Artificial Intelligence in the economic, media, and geopolitical spheres is setting the stage for a potential technocratic system that can undermine and replace the democratic and even other political systems in place in the world today. The problem primarily concerns democracies, which have been entering a phase of crisis for decades…
In truth, even on the Internet, on social media and in AI models there are forms of content control, almost always automated and only rarely moderated by human supervisors, that can be likened to the concept of censorship. For example, sexually explicit content is often filtered and censored by search engines but also by social…
It is clear that the mechanisms for rotating content online can lead to problems. It is an issue that even the Global Internet Company platforms are beginning to address, not least because they have been assailed by lawsuits from states and regulatory bodies demanding that they intervene in the algorithms that govern the rotation itself….
The participatory web and Artificial Intelligence have demolished the structure and architecture of cultural mediation that existed before their advent in mainstream society. Social organizations that played a role in cultural mediation-such as schools, the mass media, the church, and political parties-were essentially marginalized in their social role, that is, in their key function as…
In science and academia we already witness Data Ingestion of the corpus of professors and authors: publications, handouts, lectures of an author are uploaded with his or her consent within an AI model. This creates personified intelligence, which allows users to query the expert as if he or she were a real person. It becomes…
Is Artificial Intelligence morally neutral? Absolutely not. We are in fact exposed to a powerful ethical-political filter even in the use of generative AI, which is now within everyone’s reach. Try questioning ChatPGT on morally relevant issues, such as gender equality or racism. The answers will be strongly marked by politically correct filters. We are…
