Sul valore della SPERANZA | FILOSOFIA con Luciano Floridi

What are we talking about when we discuss hope? We range from the desire for something to happen to the belief that there is a more or less real probability that it will happen. Understanding hope also becomes a barrier against its manipulation. Today, technology can act as a modern talisman, capable of manipulating both our desires and our beliefs to push us in directions predefined by the market and consumerism. If we don't understand how our hope is constructed, we risk having it hijacked or attributed to distorted values: this is the necessary distinction between the great questions about the meaning of life and the transcendent and the promise of a new smartphone or a luxury vacation, and the associated semantic weight. In this way, digital capitalism transforms the user from a thinking subject to a simple "follower" or consumer to be guided. Not all hopes are created equal. #ai #ia #lucianofloridi #filosofia
