L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’InfoSapiens (del Digiticene e dintorni)

This essay introduces the concepts of Digiticene, SmartEcoSystem and InfoSapiens to analyze the ongoing anthropological transformation due to the pervasiveness of the digital. Digitalization, in the era of AI, is not merely a tool, but an onto-technological force that redefines reality and the human condition. Thus emerges the InfoSapiens, a subject whose existence, cognition and relationships are inherently shaped by streams of data and algorithms in digital ecosystems. This symbiosis with cognitive machines is not a transitory phase but an accomplished metamorphosis that requires rethinking the human. The essay explores the implications of this computational heteronomy and the need to critically inhabit this new condition, emphasizing the inseparability of the ecological and the informational crises. The goal is to understand InfoSapiens not as loss, but as a threshold for a new humanism.
