Digital Age
A culture for the digital transition 20 October - 14 December 2022
What does digital revolution mean? What are the main implications of the cultural, social and technological transformation we are experiencing? What role will human beings play in and after the Digital Revolution? In this cycle of sessions, our guests will lead us to discover the major questions related to the digital transition and its many challenges and opportunities: from the evolution of Artificial Intelligence and algorithms to platform work, from the Metaverse to supercomputing applications.
In collaboration with Tempora
Simulations, virtual reality and the metaverse

We have already entered the era of digital simulation, but what do we know about the **Metaverse** and the great activism of the other **Big Tech**? Artificial Intelligence, deep fakes, digital twins, quantum computing and digital storytelling are the present and they influence our lives.
We discuss this with **Cosimo Accoto**, philosopher and technologist.

The spread of social networks, smartphones and new technologies generates an impressive amount of data created by each of us. What can we understand about the phenomena that affect society and the economy by analysing data science and the use of algorithms? What are the new methods and frontiers of research? Let's reflect on these questions together with **Walter Quattrociocchi**, director of the Centre of Data Science and Complexity for Society of La Sapienza University.
