Abstract:
Starting from the assumption of the importance of Functional Narration, the primary focus of my pedagogical Theory—not only as a cognitive pathway for individuals in every sector of daily life, from education to the medical field—Artificial Intelligence emerges, through its powerful system, as the ideal virtual environment rethought as a “facilitator” of knowledge. Its purpose is to support the achievement of maximum personal autonomy for everyone, directing attention toward how the technological environment must be interpreted.
“It is reasonable to assume that the instrumental use of AI will increasingly influence our way of living, our social relationships and in the future even the way in which we conceive our identity as human beings.” (Pope Francis, G7 – 14/06/2024). It is precisely in this synthesis that the innovative thrust of AI is realized in my most recent operational step: a wise and fully intentional use, truly at the service of science and the person, enabling the possibility to “decode” and “give voice” in contexts where everyday functioning is difficult. Through the creation of a prototype whose development I guided, I provided face, voice and content to a tool which—if used correctly, and the food sector offers multiple channels of application—can provide the decisive shift that the current market demands.
In particular, the model developed shows significant potential in the nutritional and food domain, where the ability to decode complex languages, distorted perceptions and communicative barriers can enhance food education, nutritional awareness and individuals’ decision-making autonomy. With this prototype, I analyzed the usability of this new vision in everyday life and its applicative impact through characteristic analyses, comparisons, purposes and operational contexts. The proposed work presents a new way of reinterpreting technologies and their applications through fully intentional interpretation, laying the foundations for a project capable of transmitting the fundamental, historical and theoretical knowledge of all languages useful for communicational socialization.
Computer illiteracy does not consist in “not knowing” how to use (potential hypothesis) or in “using” (intentional hypothesis) the technological tool, but in “not knowing” what use is being made of it, why, and for what functional purpose—while seeking increasingly productive solutions for the people involved. Technologies, therefore, should not be used as an end in themselves; rather, they must be conceived in a technologically correct way, exploiting technology and its “intentionality of being” to make the world broadly accessible. This perspective opens new possibilities for the application of AI in nutrition, in food risk communication and in the construction of educational environments capable of guiding more conscious food choices. The goal is to identify actions that solve problems, avoiding the creation of complex systems that amplify difficulties instead of bringing the objective closer.
