ART BETWEEN UTOPIA, IA AND PEACE

Michele Capasso, Pia Molinari and Jacopo Molinari spoke at the Forum held at the UNSA Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo, specifically at the round table discussion entitled ‘AI & ART: How is AI transforming art?’
Moderated by Prof. Amila Akagić, ETF UNSA, 12 speakers from international universities and research centres discussed the topic. AI is everywhere, but do we truly understand its impact on our society and the future we are shaping? In this panel, we focus specifically on art, as it remains one of the most sincere mirrors of social change. Art reveals not only what technology enables, but also what it means to us as human beings. The aim of this panel is to open up a space for open and thoughtful exchange, bringing together the perspectives of academics, ethics experts and artists.
The discussion was based on three key dimensions: technology, ethical responsibility and the future of human expression. Through the voices of the twelve speakers, it was highlighted how artificial intelligence is already shaping our reality and influencing artistic practice, while challenging prevailing assumptions about its role, its limitations and the choices we face as a society moving towards the future.
Artificial intelligence has established itself as a transformative force in almost every area of modern life, reshaping economic structures.
Artificial intelligence has established itself as a transformative force in almost every area of modern life, reshaping economic structures, social interactions and ethical frameworks. It is often said that “artificial intelligence is just a tool: it all depends on how you use it”. But is this really the case? Can artificial intelligence replace charcoal, a paintbrush, a camera, a printing press, a musical instrument or a synthesiser, tools that have historically made art possible at any given time?
Millions of people around the world have now experienced AI. Some have been impressed by its speed and apparent creativity, others have been disappointed or disturbed by its limitations, and still others refuse to engage with it at all. These reactions reveal that our relationship with AI is not purely technical: it is emotional, cultural and deeply human. AI does not enter a neutral space; it enters established traditions, values and ideas about authorship, competence and expression.
‘Rather than offering definitive answers, the panel invited reflection,’ said Michele Capasso. ‘What changes when creation becomes mediated by algorithms? Where does human intention begin and end? And how can we preserve space for ambiguity, vulnerability and meaning in a future increasingly shaped by intelligent systems?’ he concluded.

TOWARDS A FEDERAL EUROPE: FOUNDING VALUES AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF VOLUNTEERING, ASSOCIATIONS AND THE THIRD SECTOR

Padova | 30 January 2026
Parent Category: Tutte le Attività (EN) - Category: Anno 2026

The third stage of the “Federal Europe: towards a constituent phase” journey arrives in Padua, a city symbolising civic engagement and participation, to focus on the contribution of volunteering, associations and the third sector in building a new Europe.
After discussions with the academic world in Salerno and a look at global challenges in Florence, Padua represents the social and community dimension of the federal project. It is no coincidence that the meeting is taking place in a city that has distinguished itself as the European Capital of Volunteering, a lively place of civic networks, solidarity and social innovation.
The meeting on Friday, 30 January 2026, was dedicated to reflecting on the founding values of a truly united Europe and on the necessary responses to the major social issues of our time: inequality, poverty, rights, democratic participation, peace and environmental sustainability. The discussion between the main voluntary organisations and European federalist movements aims to strengthen a shared vision: a federal Europe cannot be created without the active involvement of organised civil society.
The Padua stage therefore aims to be more than just a meeting: it is a laboratory for co-design and co-responsibility, in which the third sector contributes to defining the social profiles of the European federal structure, bringing concrete experiences, real needs and practices of participatory democracy.
This is a fundamental step on the road to the 2026 Naples Summit – at the headquarters of the “United States of the World” – where these energies and proposals will converge to give shape to a true constituent phase of the United States of Europe.
