About the Journal

Biblioteca Artificiale is a biannual Diamond Open Access journal published by Milano University Press.

The scope of the journal is the study of intelligence as a multifaceted, complex and layered entity. The focus is on identifying and understanding its various forms and their interaction with reality in order to grasp their status, possibilities, interconnections with natural and artificial material bases, and dimensions of responsibility and choice.

No era has been as obsessed with defining, utilising and exploiting “intelligence” economically as our own. The contemporary discourse on intelligence takes place within boundaries marked by dichotomies typical of our post-modernity: natural/artificial, mind/brain and brain/computer. “Biblioteca artificiale” aims to be a place for the development and promotion of a change of perspective that considers first and foremost the variety of intelligence, never forgetting that there are multiple intelligences, not just one. Intelligence is by no means solely human, and therefore the real issue that the journal intends to address is not to construct new “ontologies” for intelligence (natural or artificial), but rather to integrate different intelligent systems in order to analyse the multiple forms of intelligence present in nature, associated with agents, animate or inanimate, environments, material or immaterial, and different objectives.
