Más allá del algoritmo: Filosofía ante la IA

Una actividad participativa para acercarnos a la inteligencia artificial desde una perspectiva filosófica, crítica y accesible. **¿Qué es la IA? ¿Cómo aprende y funciona?** Explicaremos de forma clara y comprensible estas cuestiones a modo de introducción para dar lugar a la actividad. A partir de fragmentos breves de películas y referencias a la literatura de ciencia ficción, plantearemos algunos de los grandes interrogantes que acompañan a estas tecnologías: ¿puede una máquina comprender o ser consciente?, ¿qué decisiones deberíamos permitirle tomar?, ¿cómo afectará a nuestras relaciones, nuestros empleos y nuestra idea de creatividad?, ¿quién es responsable cuando un sistema se equivoca? Mediante sencillas dinámicas podremos debatir situaciones concretas, contrastar diferentes puntos de vista y formular sus propios criterios para una convivencia responsable entre seres humanos y sistemas inteligentes." 📱Si tienes alguna pregunta, puedes contactarnos al móvil: 686 22 62 84. 🎟️ Actividad gratuita. ⚠️ Sé responsable con tu inscripción. Si no puedes asistir, por favor, cancela tu plaza para dar lugar a otra persona. \*\*\* Para garantizar el buen funcionamiento de la actividad y evitar interrupciones, se ruega puntualidad. No se permitirá la entrada pasados los primeros 10 minutos de la actividad.

The importance of universal basic income 🌍

**PLEASE REGISTER [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/backstory-english-bookshop-events/events/316854061/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=416007314) VIA BACKSTORY!** **What to expect🌍💚** ​ ​Join Prof. David Casassas and author Julie Wark at Backstory for a lively discussion on why universal basic income could be the answer to today‘s global challenges. ​Access to universal basic income is thought by some experts to help resolve many of today's global issues: from poverty, to crime, to human rights violations and even the climate crisis. This talk will delve deep into the topic and explore why universal basic income could be a mechanism for guaranteeing basic freedoms in an era of growing inequalities and injustices. ​**David** is an associate professor at the University of Barcelona, where he teaches social and political theory. He was Secretary of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and is now a member of its International Advisory Board. He is the author of *Unconditional Freedom: Universal Basic Income and Social Power.* [Buy the book here!](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/unconditional-freedom/?utm_source=luma) ​ **Julie** is the author of *The Human Rights Manifesto*, co-author of *Indonesia: Law, Propaganda, and Terror, and Against Charity*, and the European correspondent for [CounterPunch](https://www.counterpunch.org/author/julie-wark/?utm_source=luma). ​ 🗣️ This event will be held in **English**. **About this community 📣💚** ​**For rights, against wrongs.** We clamour for universal human and environmental rights — and a peaceful, sustainable future for all! ​CLAMOUR is a growing community of people who feel that the current system isn’t working and who want to imagine, discuss, and build something better together. ​In a world shaped by rising fascism, climate collapse, and growing inequality, many of us feel overwhelmed or powerless. CLAMOUR exists to create space for something different. A space to come together, to learn, listen, share, reflect and organise. We believe that change starts from the roots and that community itself is a form of resistance. ✊ ​ Our community spans generations and backgrounds. Our youngest member is 18, our oldest is 93. We come from many nationalities and cultures, and from a wide range of professional paths including students, journalists, teachers, architects, activists, entrepreneurs, and retirees. This diversity is at the heart of CLAMOUR. We welcome anyone who feels concerned, curious, exhausted, hopeful or simply wants to connect with others who care about a more just and sustainable future. You don’t need to have answers. You just need to show up as you are. ​ Join us in making noise. **📣** **Join us in creating CLAMOUR! ☮️**💚 ​ Subscribe to our [Luma calendar](https://luma.com/clamour) to stay up to date on all events.
