What is a "celibate machine"? An isolated, high-performing self, untethered, and incapable of recognizing others. This is the risk we run: regressing to this stage while intelligent machines become increasingly human-like. Modernity has marginalized dialogue, thought, and spirit. Digital technology is a great opportunity, but also a catalyst for new problems. We are now at a crossroads, and the only way out is through new thinking. Mauro Magatti and Chiara Giaccardi (Celibate Machines: Mechanizing the Human or Humanizing the World?, Il Mulino) discuss this with Andrea Vico.
