Episode 4 - Listening to the Universe: AI, Big Data, and Discovery in Astronomy
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Chiara Stuardi, an astrophysicist and researcher in radio astronomy, about how artificial intelligence is transforming scientific research.Modern astronomy is an extremely data-intensive field, with millions of celestial sources and images that can no longer be analyzed by hand. Using radio astronomy as a case study, we explore how machine learning helps scientists detect faint cosmic structures, work at the limits of noisy data, and turn overwhelming datasets into new discoveries.Along the way, we discuss the role of convolutional neural networks in real research, the challenges of black box models, how scientists validate AI-based results, and whether AI is making science more accessible or raising new barriers. The episode closes with a broader reflection on AI as a tool to accelerate research, not a replacement for human scientists.

Episode 3 - Algoritmi non neutrali: il passato che decide il futuro tra potere, bias e riproduzione delle diseguaglianze
Con la Prof.ssa Isabella Consolati (Storia del Pensiero Politico, Politecnico di Torino) e la Prof.ssa Paola Rudan (Storia del Pensiero Politico, Università di Bologna) discutiamo delle implicazioni sociali e quindi politiche dell’intelligenza artificiale.Gli algoritmi non si limitano a descrivere il mondo: lo classificano, lo prevedono e lo riproducono.In questo episodio, riflettendo sui temi del bias, della predizione e dell'automatismo decisionale, facciamo luce sul ruolo politico dell’IA, mostrando come le tecnologie algoritmiche possano rafforzare le disuguaglianze sociali e limitare la nostra immaginazione di un futuro alternativo.

Episode 2 - La creatività è solo umana? Intelligenza artificiale e linguaggio
La creatività è davvero un’esclusiva umana?In questo episodio, con prof. Claudio Paolucci (Semiotica), discutiamo il rapporto tra intelligenza artificiale, linguaggio e creatività, mettendo in crisi il mito del genio individuale e le narrazioni che riducono l’IA a semplice imitazione.Attraverso una prospettiva semiotica e filosofica, esploriamo come le tecnologie intelligenti funzionino come sistemi linguistici e come l’ibridazione tra umano e macchinico ci costringa a ripensare soggettività, significato e forme della creazione.
