Abstract

In this article we intend to analyze the extraordinary challenge that the development and diffusion of intelligent technologies are representing, with increasing pervasiveness and impact, for human beings: their minds, behaviors, interactions; their organizational, economic and social structures. We will try to understand the reflections that intelligent automation will imply for work, cognitive development, education, services, communication. The need for a mobilization of the wide range of cultural tools that humanity has developed will become evident: every field of knowledge and each of the political and organizational capacities that we are able to mobilize. We will have to re-discuss and define: shared objectives, indispensable principles, common strategies.
