The Wild Adventure of Artificial Intelligence
By Elena Cognasso Labrousse

In every moment of our day, we should ask ourselves “where and when” AI does not accompany us, because like air, it is colorless and odorless. We talk about it a lot, both deliberately and inappropriately. Together, we will try to explore this vast black hole of AI, much like psychiatrists do when they explore the unconscious mind.

In every moment of our day, we should ask ourselves the question of “where and when” it doesn’t accompany us, because like air, it is colorless and odorless. It is everywhere: in our ears with music, in our eyes with vibrant images, on our plates with extraordinary recipes, in our glasses with exceptional mixology, and more… We talk about it often, both deliberately and inappropriately. But have you ever wondered how this extraordinary tool manages to organize and classify information? And furthermore, how does it know which pieces are truly useful for solving a particular problem, and which are not? Together, we will try to explore this vast black hole of AI, much like psychiatrists explore the unconscious of the human mind.

Upon returning to Turin, Elena Cognasso was appointed General Manager of a well-known industrial group in the automotive sector.
