The mind is not an algorithm: the role of AI in decision-making (with networking cocktail)

ITAS Forum Via Adalberto Libera, 13 - 38121 TRENTO

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we understand reality, interact with information and guide our decisions. In this context, what defines the distinct value of human contribution becomes even more evident: the ability to create meaning, envision scenarios, interpret situations and take responsibility for choices.

It is precisely in the integration between artificial intelligence and human thinking that a crucial challenge for leadership is emerging. This is not simply about adopting new technologies, but about understanding how they are redefining the role of judgment, accountability and sense-making within decision-making processes. This session explores this complementarity, highlighting the implications and the capabilities required to exercise a conscious and effective leadership role in increasingly data- and algorithm-driven environments.

During this session, participants will have the opportunity to:

  • hear from Chiara Valerio, who will provide a cultural and critical perspective on the meaning of human thought in the age of algorithms, reflecting on the relationship between language, knowledge and emerging forms of artificial intelligence
  • engage with Cristiano Boscato’s perspective, offering a broad view of the role of AI in decision-making and collaborative processes, and exploring how technologies are transforming how organizations share knowledge, work together and create value
  • explore, with Chiara Bacilieri, how the human brain responds to AI stimuli and why psychological mechanisms and human capabilities remain central in decision-making within complex technological environments
