About this Event
The Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto is pleased to host Artificial Intelligence & the Humanities, a special interdisciplinary conference for academics, bringing together invited scholars and experts from Canada, Italy, and the United States for a day of intellectual exchange and dialogue.
The all-day conference will explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on the humanities, language, culture, education, and society, examining the opportunities and challenges AI presents across a wide range of fields, from language learning, literature, and cognitive science to creativity, communication, and organized crime.
Featuring distinguished speakers including Marcel Danesi, Antonio Nicaso, Domenico Pietropaolo, Michael Lettieri, Paolo Granata, Massimo Leone, Massimo Vedovelli, Jamin Pelkey, and Stephanie Walsh-Matthews, the conference will also feature a plenary lecture by Mark Turner (Case Western Reserve University), entitled “Reimagining the Humanities through AI: Synthetic Agents in Distributed Cognition.”
Through thought-provoking presentations and interdisciplinary dialogue, the conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on how artificial intelligence is reshaping human knowledge, imagination, and cultural expression.
