There is a new project aimed at bringing younger people closer to the world of artificial intelligence, but in a more conscious and constructive way. Lenovo, in collaboration with the Belleville School, is proposing the initiative Prove to be human - Writing stories at the time of AI aimed at writers and storytelling enthusiasts: an in-presence workshop that will take place in Milan, designed for ten authors selected through a national call: the participants, guided by Francesco D'Isa, will work on their own narrative project, experimenting how generative technologies, such as AI, can support and enrich the writing process.
"With this initiative we want to emphasise how technology and culture are deeply interconnected, they are expressions of a single path through which human beings explore themselves and the world around them. As we showed with 'AI Yoga, Artistic Intelligences', AI is not just a technical advancement, but an integral component of our cultural landscape, capable of influencing and supporting artistic creation," explains Pietro Parodi, PR & Communication Leader Italy & Israel of Lenovo, and continues "Lenovo, which designs hundreds of AI solutions, from devices to services, is committed to supporting creatives in today's challenge, which is not to consider AI as a tool to be drawn from passively, but as an interlocutor with which to dialogue to develop new forms of expression. Our goal is to promote a conscious and stimulating use of technology that enhances the human capacity to create, without replacing it'.
The initiative, in fact, is part of Lenovo's journey to explore the link between creativity and artificial intelligence, as already demonstrated in the AI Yoga for Artistic Intelligences exhibition hosted at the MEET Digital Culture Center in Milan; the protagonist is the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition: a latest-generation notebook from the Intel Evo Edition line with Copilot+ technology and Intel Core Ultra processors, which integrates AI technologies and offers tools to support creative work.
