What is it about

Silence does not exist, everything is sound. But what does Artificial Intelligence sound like? How can we listen to the world, to others and to our own humanity in a digital age?​

​ In a world where silence is an illusion and everything is permeated by sound, we will immerse ourselves in a fascinating journey into the sound world of technology and humanity.​

​ With Chiara Luzzana, composer and Sound Designer, and Corrado Passera, founder and CEO of illimity, we will take the stage at the SIOS23 Winter with the illimity Talk "Let's talk about the sound of Alnnovation" to explore the sound of Artificial Intelligence, reflect on the importance of listening and imagine the future of a shared symphony between man and machine.​

CEO illimity

3 good reasons for following the illimity talks:

01.

To better understand the world around us

Technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, training. We want to create a physical and digital meeting space to discuss the issues that are transforming our current way of living so that we are prepared for the future.

02.

Inspiring personalities of different fields

From Italy to Silicon Valley, by way of Oxford. We will hear the courageous stories of scientists, businessmen and opinion leaders who are changing the world with their ideas

03.

To give shape to our potential

There are times when we must seek inspiration and look inside ourselves to release our potential. The illimity talks are a window into what's in store for us in the future, on the sliding doors that help us to create ideas and interpret the junctions of life with courage so that we can make our projects possible.

Previous Talks

4 May 2023

Let’s talk about society

What can we expect in the near future? How can we all build a better country together? What are the priority objectives and what tools could facilitate their achievement?

22 November 2022

Let’s talk about Entrepreneurial Mindset

The road to create a new business is not always easy. The entrepreneur has to give shape to his or her intuitions and is often confronted with reality and numerous obstacles along the way. But if we look at successful entrepreneurs, is it possible to identify a lowest common denominator in their thinking or behavior?

12 December 2021

Let’s talk about “creative” machines

All the critical distinctions between people and machines - such as history, a sense of aesthetics, myths and profound values - are only possible and communicable using language. Language is the tool that enables us to produce an endless number of sentences from an arsenal of a few dozen sounds, to learn how to do things we've never done before, to imagine things that nobody has thought of before, to simulate the future, to transfer information that does not exist, to foresee what might lie ahead and to create abstract notions like gods.

13 December 2020

Let’s talk about space

Two explorers discuss their pathways through life and how the world is today. Where does the desire to look beyond come from and how can one nourish it?

A debate between two serial innovators: illimity's CEO Corrado Passera and the physicist and inventor Federico Faggin. A step-by-step confrontation, not always in chronological order, between two men gifted in restarting. And raising the stakes, always.

Quotes

There is something that we all have inside, that we need to develop it with curiosity and interdisciplinarity. It is called potential, because it can become a great power, allowing us to be free.

Corrado Passera

CEO illimity

Delegating our choices and having a machine make them requires one key thing, trust.

Paolo Benanti

Franciscan,
theologian and academic

If we talk about startups, we can't not consider space. We have a great opportunity, to discover the lunar surface: what a better startup?

Roberto Vittori

Astronaut and general of the army

Entrepreneurship has been the way to develop myself and bring new ideas to the market

Federico Faggin

Physicist, inventor and entrepreneur

Innovation means asking yourself: what is the problem that is really close to my heart?

Luciano Floridi

Professor of Philosophy at Oxford

Robots have a single powerful brain to handle billions of different bodies in the same way. They are not aggressive, they don't fall in love and, in the end, they are all the same. By contrast, human beings are tied to biochemical changes: we get hungry, we suffer from fear and envy and we fall in love. Our brains are limited in capacity, but we are also unique, creative, unreliable, irrational, resentful and brilliant. We are human. 

Roberto Cingolani

Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at Leonardo

We need a plan: the choices we make today determine how we will live in the future. To combat climate change, we must change ourselves
