Starting from the three human brains – reptile (instinct), Libycus (emotions) and Cortex (reason) – he will explore how machines are following a similar but inverse path: from the intellect of language systems to the empathy of affective computing, up to the physicality of robotics. This journey reveals not only risks and biases, but above all the opportunities of a world where every technology will have a personality, transforming the way we live and work.
