Noreena Hertz lo sperimenta in prima persona: a un colloquio di lavoro viene valutata da un algoritmo; un pomeriggio fa shopping con un’"amica del cuore" affittata tramite un servizio online; di sera si trova a sfiorare la pelle artificiale di un robot progettato per essere il suo animale da compagnia.

Das KI-Manifest von Matthias Horx ist ein Plädoyer für den humanistischen Futurismus. Das KI-Manifest setzt auf konstruktive Weise die Künstliche Intelligenz und alles, was sie mit sich bringt, mit der menschlichen Kreativität in Verbindung.

En Vida.
