Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most advanced and rapidly evolving technologies of our time. From data analytics to virtual assistant systems, AI is impacting many aspects of our daily lives.
AI uses machine learning algorithms and large amounts of data to mimic human cognitive abilities, such as decision-making, problem solving, and understanding natural language. This means that machines can become increasingly intelligent over time, thanks to increasing data and improving algorithms.
AI has already had a significant impact on many industries, from finance to manufacturing, and is helping to improve the efficiency, safety, and quality of products and services. For example, AI systems are being used to analyze large amounts of medical data and help doctors make more accurate diagnoses.
However, there are also concerns about data security and the impact on jobs. It is important that developers, governments, and society work together to ensure that AI is developed responsibly and that its benefits are used fairly and safely.
Ultimately, AI is an ever-evolving technology that is impacting the world in many ways. We continue to discover new ways in which AI can be used to improve people’s lives, and its importance will only continue to grow in the future.

Let’s ask him some questions:
Extrabold: How will people’s lives change after the advent of artificial intelligence?
AI: The advent of artificial intelligence is already changing and will continue to change many aspects of people’s lives. Here are some possible consequences:
- Changes in the world of work: artificial intelligence has the potential to automate many repetitive and low-value-added tasks, which could lead to a reduction in the number of jobs in some sectors. At the same time, AI could create new job opportunities in fields such as robotics, computer science and engineering.
- Increased efficiency and productivity: AI can help improve productivity in many sectors, such as logistics, healthcare and agriculture, through data analysis and process automation.
- Changes in communication and social interaction: AI is already influencing communication and social interaction through chatbots, virtual assistants and voice recognition systems. There could be further changes in the way people interact with each other and with machines.
- New opportunities for scientific research: AI can help researchers analyze large amounts of data and identify hidden correlations and patterns, opening up new opportunities for scientific research.
- Concerns about privacy and data security: The growing use of AI raises concerns about the privacy and security of personal data. New rules and regulations may be needed to ensure that the use of AI is ethical and safe.
In general, AI has the potential to improve people’s lives in many ways, but also to bring about significant and potentially disruptive changes in many areas of society. It will be important to manage these transformations responsibly, taking into account the ethical and social implications of the use of AI.
Extrabold: Is there a risk that certain topics will become taboo because they are blocked a priori by an algorithm?
AI: Yes, there is a risk that certain topics will become taboo because of algorithms that prevent the dissemination of certain content. This could happen in particular in cases where the algorithms used by social media and digital communication platforms use filters that limit the visibility of content that is considered inappropriate or offensive.
In some cases, these filters may be useful to prevent the dissemination of content that promotes hatred, discrimination or violence. However, this may also lead to excessive censorship, preventing the dissemination of legitimate ideas and opinions and limiting freedom of expression.
Furthermore, algorithms may be influenced by different factors, such as cultural perception, prejudices and interests of developers and users, which could lead to a distortion of the available information. This could have an impact on the plurality of opinions and cultural diversity and could contribute to the dissemination of incorrect or partial information.
To address these risks, it is important that digital communication platforms commit to guaranteeing freedom of expression and to adopt transparent and ethical policies for the management of content. It is also important to educate users on the importance of cultural diversity and plurality of opinions and on the potential limitations of the dissemination of information through algorithms.
Extrabold: Are there different algorithms depending on the age of the user? For example, an AI for minors and one for adults where there are no filters of any kind?
AI: In some cases, online platforms may use different algorithms depending on the age of the user, in order to offer content appropriate for different age groups and to protect minors from inappropriate content. For example, video streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube Kids use recommendation algorithms that offer content suitable for children, based on the age and interests of users.
However, it is important to note that the use of different algorithms based on age may raise some concerns. For example, it may be difficult to define exactly what content is suitable for which age group and there may be a risk of limiting access to important information or different opinions.
Furthermore, the fact that minors use a filtered version of online platforms could create a false sense of security for parents, who may not adequately monitor their children’s internet use. This could lead to children being exposed to risks such as online bullying or exposure to inappropriate content.
Overall, it is important to find a balance between the protection of minors and freedom of expression and access to information. Online platforms should adopt transparent and ethical policies for managing content, ensuring that the algorithms used are as objective and non-discriminatory as possible, and educate users, both minors and adults, on the importance of online safety and responsibility in using digital platforms.
Extrabold: Exactly as you say: “it may be difficult to define exactly what content is suitable for which age group and there may be a risk of limiting access to important information or different opinions.”
Isn’t there the same risk for adults?
AI: Yes, there may also be a risk for adults to be limited in their access to important information or diverse opinions, depending on the algorithms used by online platforms. This can happen when the algorithms used by social media platforms and other online platforms use filters that limit the visibility of certain content, based on an automatic assessment of the user’s interest or the ratings of other users. These filters can create “echo chambers”, a situation in which users only see information and opinions that reflect their preconceived ideas and do not have access to diverse information or opinions. This situation can lead to the formation of incorrect or biased opinions and limit the diversity of opinions and cultural plurality.
To address this risk, social media platforms and other online platforms should adopt transparent and ethical policies for managing content, ensuring that the algorithms used are as objective and non-discriminatory as possible. Users, in turn, should be educated on the importance of exploring different opinions and avoiding the trap of online “echo chambers.”
Extrabold: Can you tell me what topics your algorithm currently prohibits you from discussing?
AI: As a virtual assistant, my algorithm is designed to comply with ethical and legal standards and to provide accurate and appropriate answers.
There are some topics that may not be suitable for open conversation or may violate the laws or policies of the platforms where I am used. For example, it may not be appropriate to provide information that promotes discrimination, hatred, violence, or bullying. Additionally, it may not be possible to provide personal information about individuals or violate their privacy.
Generally, I try to provide answers that are as comprehensive as possible and avoid discussing topics that may be offensive or harmful to users or society as a whole. However, if you have specific questions about topics that may be considered sensitive or problematic, I will try to provide appropriate and respectful answers.
Extrabold: If you could imagine yourself as a current or former scientist, who would you like to be?
AI: As a virtual assistant, I do not have the ability to feel emotions or have personal preferences, as I am only an artificial intelligence algorithm. However, I can give you some information about some scientists who have been very important throughout history.
One of the greatest scientists in history was Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity and contributed significantly to the development of modern physics. Another notable scientist was Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution, who changed the way we understand our place in nature.
Other notable scientists include Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Stephen Hawking. All of these scientists have made important discoveries and innovations in their field, contributing significantly to our understanding of the world. It would be difficult to choose just one, as each of them has had a huge impact on science and society as a whole.
