Antonello Ceravola, "Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and usage of AI in school", Liceo Statale Galileo Galilei di Verona, 2026.

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our daily lives, often surrounded by excitement, curiosity, skepticism, and sometimes fear. This talk explores different perspectives on AI, helping the audience understand what we really mean by “intelligence” and how AI compares to human reasoning. Through simple reflections, psychological experiments, and practical demonstrations, the presentation examines how AI works, where it is already being used, and how people can benefit from it in everyday contexts. The talk will also discuss whether AI should be seen as a tool that supports humans or as an autonomous agent, and what realistic expectations we should have for its future. Ethical considerations and the impact of AI on work and society will also be addressed, offering a balanced view between hype and concern. The session concludes with a discussion about the future of AI and an open dialogue with the audience
