How can we successfully coexist with AI?

A Pioneering Dialogue on AI's Impact, with human Yannick Bollati and AI Avatar Ada Logos.

As artificial intelligence (AI) redefines our world, we're poised for a groundbreaking exploration of its impacts and futures.

In partnership with PhiloMa.org, this unique conference led by Yannick Bollati will blend historical, philosophical, and practical insights into AI.

Featuring direct dialogue with Ada Logos, an advanced AI "vocal avatar," we'll tackle how AI reshapes work, economy, and politics, and discuss the potential for superintelligences versus the speculation of an AI bubble.

Join us for an essential journey into the heart of AI, where human curiosity meets the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, paving the way for a shared future.
