"Inside the digital revolution" - Francesco ed Enzo Rullani

Machines and Men: the digital revolution in one "third" perspective 

"The digital revolution can - if properly governed - transform the relationship between man and machine from the present one in which man suffers from the simplifying, rigid and standardizing logic of machines, to a future one - all to be built - in which machines and men can collaborate and become complementary.

This is the focus of the book "Inside the Digital Revolution" by Francesco (LUISS Carli University) and Enzo Rullani (Ca' Foscari University), our guests on April 2nd for an open lecture focused on this theme.

Often the digital revolution is read as a moment of transition from a world in which man uses machines to a world dominated by intelligent machines in which man struggles to find a role, the Rullani instead want to reverse this approach by proposing a collaborative vision of the relationship between man and machine.
