Feeling, Being and What AI (Still) Doesn't Do
With the accelerated advancement of artificial intelligence, doubt grows about which activities still remain essentially human. In some professions, the presence of the person continues to be central, as it involves body, emotion, subjective perception, and continuous sensory training. Activities related to smell, for example — deeply connected to memory and individual experiences —, represent one of these frontiers. But will AI be able to reproduce or even surpass this creative and sensory dimension in the future?
When technology speeds up, does society keep pace? with Diogo Cortiz
While governments and companies accelerate digitalization processes, a significant portion of the population still maintains essentially analog habits, references, and forms of interaction. The panel invites reflection on the mismatch between technological speed and social, cultural, and educational adaptation.
