Navigating contemporary AI

A cycle of five meetings dedicated to AI, promoted by the Kainòn ETS Foundation and the ‘Lamaro Pozzani’ University College of the Knights of Labour, in collaboration with Effort Cube.

Five meetings, including theory and practical workshops, involved the students in a journey through the potential of generative AI, exploring its impact on society, work and ethics. A unique learning experience that stimulated critical reflection and offered concrete tools to face the challenges of the future. The final challenge for the students? To demonstrate creativity and practical skills during the final workshop by devising innovative projects with artificial intelligence tools, without the need for programming.

Among the lecturers, Riccardo De Angelis, Creative Director of Dot Beyond, delved into the role of creativity in the age of AI with the course Creare vs Generare (Create vs Generate) and led the students to rethink the creative process in the workshop Un'altra sedia (Another chair), that was guided together with Mitchell B. Squire, Innovation Manager of Effort Cube, and Eleonora Caparesi, Innovation Consultant of Effort Cube.

How about you? Have you ever thought about how you would redesign a chair in an innovative way with the help of AI or using only your imagination?
