As with the atomic bomb, many see artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity, capable of taking over and decreeing its extinction. While we do not share this view, it is undeniable that the rise of AI poses significant risks. We need to approach these issues with the utmost rationality and avoid succuming to fears that can be disorienting and confusing.   <\/p>\n\n<p>It must be said that AI remains an artificial tool without its own consciousness, interests and purpose.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even ASI , an <em> acronym <\/em>that stands for<em> &#8220;Artificial Super Intelligence,&#8221;<\/em> even if it ever reaches the superhuman level, will remain a mindless superhuman, that is, meaningless.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is up to human intelligence to <em>make sense of<\/em> artificial intelligence. In the end, AI will remain a superhuman that belongs to us. <\/p>\n\n<p>This is not the first time man has found himself interacting with superhuman intelligences. The Bible as the &#8220;word of God&#8221; has from the beginning been a channel for making contact with a superhuman entity, used for thousands of years. In ancient Rome, Roman families used slaves with intellectual faculties superior to their own as tutors to their children.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is the capacity for critical analysis of the current anthropological and technological context, and the prediction of possible future developments, that makes the difference. It is therefore necessary to develop and maintain a deep capacity for critical analysis in order to meet the challenges of the Singularity and Transhumanism; this is one of the main goals of the Homo Extensus project. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_737640296\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" ><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-316048519\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-316048519 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-large\"  id=\"row-2067120434\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-936636511\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-394472753\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2>Insights<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-394472753 {\n  font-size: 1rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2108355170\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t<a class=\"plain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carraro-lab.com\/2024\/10\/01\/intelligenza-artificiale-e-personificazione\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >\t<div class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-left text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-img\" style=\"width: 25px\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-inner\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/homo-extensus.ai-book.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/external-link-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homo-extensus.ai-book.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/external-link-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/homo-extensus.ai-book.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/external-link-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/homo-extensus.ai-book.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/external-link.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Artificial Intelligence and Personification<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_737640296 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Artificial Intelligence, in the scenario of the so-called Singularity, opens up disturbing scenarios.
