Attività di Ricerca

Dal 2024 al 2026 sono stato PI del progetto individuale LEAF (Linking Evolution, AI and Freedom) finanziato da ERC Seeds Uniba, i cui principali risultati sono confluiti nel volume in Open Acess Thresholds of Intelligence.
Descrizione:
LEAF, an acronym for Linking Evolution, AI, and Freedom, symbolizes our research aimed at exploring the connections between evolution, artificial intelligence, and freedom. Like a leaf that was once firmly attached to the branch of the evolutionary tree but is now free to soar in the wind, our project investigates the transition from biological evolution to the autonomous adaptation of artificial intelligence. We examine how these transformations influence our understanding of freedom and the philosophical and ethical challenges associated with it.
LEAF aims to examine the relationship between freedom and intelligence from a philosophical point of view. Philosophical engagement with this issue has undergone two particularly significant turns in Western modernity: first, the emergence of Darwinian evolutionary perspective, then, in recent years, the development of the Artificial Intelligence paradigm. Focusing on the conceptions of freedom advanced in the evolutionary paradigm and in current AI research, we intend to determine to what extent there is theoretical continuity between these fields of research.
