In just a few years, artificial intelligence has become one of the most disruptive cultural phenomena of our time. A revolution that Arturo Artom explores in his forthcoming book “The New Intelligence”, which will be the focus of an open public discussion on June 25 at the FLA FlavioLucchiniArt Museum at Superstudio Più.

Some ask it to write an email. Others rely on it to prepare a professional presentation, plan a holiday, or offer advice and perspective, whether on a book to read before bed or a recipe to cook for dinner. Multitasking, available around the clock, and always ready with an answer, artificial intelligence has entered our daily lives at lightning speed.

Amid excitement and skepticism, concern and wonder, it now converses, suggests, creates images, translates, edits, and inspires. Above all, it is reshaping the way we see the world.
For generations, we believed knowledge was built patiently, brick by brick: studying, gaining experience, developing expertise. Then algorithms arrived, and the script changed almost overnight. Today, knowledge becomes outdated at the pace of a software update, professions are being reinvented, and the future no longer seems to move in a straight line. Knowledge is no longer a storehouse to guard jealously, but a constantly evolving map that we must learn to navigate.
It is from this premise that “The New Intelligence: Connect Ideas. Explore. Have Fun” takes shape. The new book by Arturo Artom, visionary entrepreneur and one of the key figures behind the liberalization of Italy’s telecommunications sector, argues that we are not witnessing the surrender of human intelligence, but rather its evolution. In an increasingly interconnected world, Artom suggests, success no longer belongs to those who know the most, but to those who can recognize change as it emerges, connect seemingly distant worlds, and preserve the curiosity that remains perhaps the most precious and irreducibly human resource of all.
Timely and relevant, the book addresses a subject that transcends generations and concerns us all. It will take center stage on June 25 at the FLA FlavioLucchiniArt Museum at Superstudio Più. In the creative heart of Milan’s Tortona District, a hub long synonymous with innovation and cultural exchange, Arturo Artom will be joined in conversation by Gisella Borioli, journalist and President of Superstudio Group, and Emanuela Carcano, journalist and member of the Board of Directors of the Fondazione Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
Because if artificial intelligence is the defining protagonist of our present, learning how to understand it, work alongside it, and perhaps even enjoy the process may well be the most compelling story of our time.
