Greta Coraglia joins the project BRIO as a postdoc at the Philosophy Department of the University of Milan.
She graduated at the Università Statale di Milano and is about to obtain her PhD in Mathematics at the Università degli Studi di Genova. She is interested in logic, category theory, and theoretical computer science, with a focus on using categorical tools to describe diagrammatic aspects of various deductive systems.
Her interests also include logical foundations, categorical semantics, mathematical logic, deductive systems, and type theory.

Video Ergo Sum: Tre incontri su cinema e conoscenza
Terzo incontro, 23/04/2022
Daniele Porello e Guido Laino
Cinema e Intelligenza Artificiale
Palazzo delle Albere, nell’inedita veste di spazio cinematografico, apre le sue porte a un ciclo di tre incontri per rivedere e commentare insieme le scene di film celebri e meno noti, in un dialogo tra competenze e sensibilità diverse: quella filosofica e quella cinefila. Un confronto aperto e informale con docenti, registi e comunicatori su cinema, conoscenza, filosofia e bellezza. A dare il via alla rassegna sarà il presidente del MUSE Stefano Zecchi.
Prende ispirazione dalla formula cartesiana “Cogito ergo sum”, il nuovo cineforum a Palazzo delle Albere targato MUSE – Museo delle Scienze e Associazione il Funambolo, in collaborazione con Harpo e Trentino Film Commission. Si chiama “Video ergo sum” ed è un itinerario in tre tappe – mercoledì 30 marzo, martedì 5 e sabato 23 aprile 2022 – che indaga il rapporto tra l’essere umano e la conoscenza, servendosi del cinema come spunto e mezzo di comunicazione. La rassegna filmica, che viaggia in parallelo alla mostra “Il viaggio meraviglioso tra scienza e filosofia”, visitabile fino al 5 giugno 2022 al primo piano di Palazzo delle Albere, propone momenti d’incontro, accompagnati da un aperitivo informale e da alcune scene selezionate da film più e meno celebri, che alimentano il dialogo tra la cultura filosofica e quella cinefila. A curare la proposta, Guido Laino, regista, scrittore e anima di diversi festival culturali. L’ingresso, compreso di aperitivo/brunch, è di 5 euro con prenotazione obbligatoria su Ticketlandia.
Sabato 23 aprile alle 11 l’ultimo incontro: Daniele Porello, professore associato di Logica e Filosofia della Scienza all’Università di Genova, e Guido Laino, curatore della rassegna, analizzeranno spezzoni di film relativi al futuro e all’impatto dell’intelligenza artificiale sulla conoscenza virtualmente illimitata ma anche sul depotenziamento della centralità dell’essere umano.
Evento realizzato dal MUSE in collaborazione con il Funambolo, Harpo e Trentino Film Commission.
