Artificial Intelligence and Care of Our Common Home is a joint research project between the Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities (SACRU) and the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation (CAPPF). The research aims at analyzing the development and application of Artificial Intelligence in the fields of industry, finance, education, and communication from a multidisciplinary and international perspective. Grounded in the Social Doctrine of the Church, it seeks to identify the risks, abuses, and inequalities stemming from the unethical or unregulated production and use of AI. At the same time, it aims to explore the conditions necessary for ethically guided innovation that places technology at the service of the common good.Con i contributi di: Andrea Gaggioli, Alejandra Marinovic, Clarisse de Souza, Edgar Lyra, Andrea Vicini, SJ, William Hasselberger, Josef Bonnici, Xavier Ferras Hernandez, Mario A.

Caminho acompanhada por gestos viajantes dialoga com o processo criativo da própria vida, que é cheio de nuances, mudanças e outros pontos de vista presentes nos percursos espiralares dos acontecimentos. Uma leitura que pode ser uma coisa e outra (e outra e...) num sentido de adiço e camadas de percepçes que tambem so sentidas. E um mergulho na poetica da colagem: na transformaço dos sentidos e na multiplicidade das leituras. Um convite a percepço da vida enquanto uma transformaço constante dos caminhos que vo sendo compostos e recompostos enquanto se experiencia viver. Aqui, a colagem esta como uma das possibilidades de perceber as composiçes dos pedacinhos se tornando outras coisas.Nessa pesquisa em arte, Ana Berenice partilha reflexes a partir de si, e, ampliando suas elaboraçes, convida cada pessoa tambem a olhar para seus acontecimentos sob outros angulos e perceber o que mais pode ser algo que antes parecia acabado ou pronto. Ela começa questionando o fim e observa como as inquietaçes que a acompanham pelo meio docaminho a movimentam. Percebe, ainda, que quando for mar, a partir desse rasgo da palavra, havera muitas profundezas e questionamentos a serem desdobrados. Aqui, o rasgo e uma brecha para a travessia. Para atravessar. Para atras versar.Assim como a colagem pode parecer começar do fim do que era uma imagem anterior, o ensaio proposto pela autora tambem começa a partir do fim e abre para muitos meios e outros começos. A partir do fim começam as partidas, os pedacinhos, as frestas e as festas, as brechas, os rios e os desagues dos acontecimentos.
