FABRIZIO GIULIMONDI: "HYMN TO THE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE"

 

Don't outsource your intelligence to Artificial Intelligence.

Don't just seek for the solution, the final product, but work on the process, on the reasoning, on the research: research comes first and is more important than the solution.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes: mistakes help us grow and become better; mistakes help us improve research and what we're researching. Error is like doubt: both are needed to become better as people and as scholars.

Artificial Intelligence focuses only on the final answer and erases everything else: the questions, the doubt, the research, the effort of connecting knowledge and science. Believe in your intelligence and in your abilities, which are far superior than the fictitious digital, technological, and computer ones.

Dear PhD Students, plan, always plan. Make the future a perpetual construction site. Make your intelligence, your culture, and your preparation the building blocks of a new tomorrow. Read, read a lot, always study and stay up-to-date, get informed from multiple sources, write, analyze the facts, and don't settle for the opinions of the "scientist" of the moment, because he might just be the "servant" of the moment. Always look "behind the scenes," because the "front" could be false. Doubt with creative doubt, because to innovate, you need to doubt. May the words of the great Italian poet Montale be your warning and guiding star: "Further beyond." Your horizons know no bounds: always go "Further beyond".
