Artificial Intelligence and the End of Humanity

At the inauguration of the Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence at Harvard University, physicist Stephen Hawking summarized his concerns in the following sentence: "The rise of powerful AI will be either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity. We do not yet know which". This could be an interesting way to approach artificial intelligence: navigating a path between enthusiasm and caution, between wonder and terror.



Sociologist, member of the research group on digital culture and network theory, he worked as a columnist for several newspapers. He currently lectures in different European countries, Canada and the United States.
