The Map and the Landscape: Paolo Sironi on Quantum Sapiens, AI, and the Meaning Machines Can't Carry

In this new episode of One Vision Podcast, Paolo Sironi joins Theodora Lau to unveil his new book, Quantum Sapiens, a philosophical literary thriller on artificial intelligence, quantum gravity, and the origins of human consciousness. A burning question: Why now?

We talk about the "I love you" problem and what happens when we attribute meaning to words that machines give us. Paolo invites us to think about the journey ahead of us before we walk through Alice's mirror. What do we need to carry with us? What do we leave behind?

An exhilarating conversation about the present and future of technology that you won't want to miss. No PhD required.

📍The algorithm has no meaning. We need the entanglement and the magic of the human touch."
