Da Pinocchio a ChatGPT: molteplici percorsi di intelligenza

Celebrate the 24th week of the Italian Language in the World at UBC, which is centered around the theme of “L’Italiano e il libro: il mondo tra le righe (Italian and Books: The World Between the Lines)”.

This year’s theme focuses on how books reflect cultural identity and how they can be used in Italian classes. The theme further examines the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with traditional practices, focusing on how AI is shaping book reading and the translation of literary texts.
