When discussing the future of artificial intelligence, two expressions appear frequently: artificial general intelligence and artificial superintelligence. Usually, they are presented as distinct stages of a long technological evolution.
Read the essayWe live as if we were always on our way to something. The next meeting, the next paycheck, the next vacation, the next achievement.
Read the essayIn the mid-19th century, aluminum was a luxury metal. Its production required a chemical process so complex and expensive that, for a time, the material was worth more than gold itself.
Read the essayThe last decade has been marked by the relentless pursuit of digital engagement, a dynamic in which personal validation came to depend on metrics like likes and shares.
