Abstract

The universe we are part of, amidst ongoing social models and evolutionary processes, moves its actions inexorably driven by the need not to be left behind and by the inherent human desire for discovery and innovation. Today's social environment is fueled by technological functions and devices, restructuring and shaping social participation processes according to shared and easily assimilated characteristics. Human nature, supported by processes of knowledge and motivated curiosity, has developed those cognitive articulations and extensions that have imbued it with new educational models, built on the supporting structure of human-machine relationships and their correct use, for effective and positive learning. In this scenario, Artificial Intelligence fits in, a technological device born with the aim of supporting, through its extensions, humanity and society as a whole in their daily activities.

The ability of technological tools to interact with humans demonstrates how the construction of the real world depends on identifying the necessary measures to ensure the satisfaction of both individual and collective needs. Technological articulations, whether induced or deduced, represent those levels of multiple associations capable of responding, if properly structured, to external inferences and social needs. We are, therefore, dealing with receptive devices that process an infinite amount of data to provide comprehensive responses to every single request from the environment. Furthermore, the ability to create predictions, a uniquely human characteristic, to analyze and decode data upon data, allows the machine to calibrate feedback responses to stimuli based on previous experience on previously analyzed data for effective and satisfying interaction. The concept expands to involve multiple social sectors, not only the economic and political spheres but, through a differentiated and alternative vision of education, also the process of knowledge acquisition. An educational process that is strengthened by the machine's sensitivity to seek solutions most closely aligned with the key characteristics that underpin society, of which humanity is the central focus. The future will certainly bring us new challenges, for which we must be ready and from which we cannot avoid. The rest will be done by humanity's desire to be amazed, seeking continuous improvement, building human-artificial articulations that represent the exact essence of such a fundamental figure as humanity.
