L'INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE
Francesco Gennari a.s. 2022/2023
Ho deciso di incentrare il mio percorso sul tema dell'intelligenza artificiale perché secondo il mio parere può rappresentare un punto di svolta, di ispirazione, non un punto di arrivo su cui fermarsi e quindi smettere di imparare . Al giorno d’oggi molte persone pensano che l'intelligenza artificiale rappresenti dubbi, paure, pericoli e un probabile nemico futuro. Papa Francesco per esempio rimane convinto che “l'intelligenza artificiale è alla base del cambiamento d'epoca che stiamo vivendo” e che “la robotica può rendere possibile un mondo migliore se è unita al bene comune". Penso infatti che l'intelligenza artificiale stia assumendo sempre più importanza nel corso degli anni , in primo luogo in ambito medico scientifico, ma anche nel mondo dell’arte, della musica e dello sport.
Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence of machines. A machine is intelligent when it knows its environment and performs actions with a high chance of success. Thinking machines and artificial beings already appeared in very ancient times in Greek myths and Egyptian stories, but it is only in recent times that scientists have begun exploring a new approach to intelligent machines, based on discoveries in neurology, on cybernetics, and, above all, on the invention of the digital computer, a machine which can simulate the process of the human mind. Several futurists say that Artificial Intelligence will go beyond the limits of progress and it will transform humanity. They calculate that computers will have the same reasoning ability as the human mind by the year 2029 and that in the future human beings and intelligent machines will merge into “cyborgs”. Today Artificial Intelligence has become an essential part of robotics, the science and technology of robots. But what is a robot? A robot is a machine that can perform autonomous or preprogrammed tasks. Some robots may perform tasks that are repetitive, others may perform tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans. They may be controlled directly by a human or they may act according to their artificial intelligence. This is the case of Topio, a humanoid robot, which can play tennis with any courageous human who wants to confront it. Topio comes from Vietnam and it was the star in 2009 International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo. A curiosity: this steel robot expresses feelings when it loses or wins a game.
