THE OFFICIAL PODCAST OF THE CHAIR
A podcast series on the ethics, politics, and philosophy of artificial intelligence, in dialogue with philosophers, scientists, and industry leaders. Each episode is a conversation, not an interview: a format designed to produce friction rather than consensus, and to make the underlying assumptions of the AI debate visible.
Ideated and produced by Brand Genesi, in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair in Ethics of AI and Practical Wisdom (WISE-AI), SEPAI International, and Rivista.AI. Hosted by Elisabetta Alicino and Mario De Caro.
