Artificial Intelligence

Is artificial intelligence really intelligence? Why do we call it “artificial”? Human intelligence—what allows us to understand the world around us and the setting for our lives—is no longer exclusively human. It’s a hybrid, distributable intelligence made up of neurons and chips, memories and databases, imagination and computational prognostics, thoughts and algorithms. As we use artificial intelligence (AI) to understand our existence, the border between us and technology becomes blurrier and blurrier: where do we end, and where does AI start?

To what degree does AI resemble human intelligence? Is it really capable of learning? If so, how does it do it? Is it creative? Is it sustainable? We know that it can store much more data than our minds can, and that it can process it much quicker; is that why it knows the future better than we do? Can it make decisions without human participation? If so, should we be worried?

The exhibit Artificial Intelligence follows a path that begins with the first dreams of artificial intelligence. It analyses how the development of AI has been influenced by a range of different factors, including the anthropological aspects of ancient civilizations and human beings’ urge to experiment.
