Artificial Intelligence
No. 90 JANUARY 2019
We are the most intelligent animal species known, the product of extraordinary biological evolution over billions of years. So it is not surprising that today we want to overcome our own limits, creating systems that reproduce intelligent behaviour artificially. Where are we on this adventure? Will these systems ever overcome the intelligence of their creators? Should we fear them? What role can they play in the future evolution of the human species and in the conquest of space? This essay clearly describes what artificial intelligence is and its relationship with human intelligence, as well as possible applications and societal and economic implications. It includes a historical perspective and an analysis of the current state of technology. It reflects on the possible consequences of the development of artificial intelligence and invites us to project our intelligence in the future.
