Giovanni Amelino Camelia reviews Giorgio Parisi's book 'Le simmetrie nascoste' on Doppiozero, focusing on its final section about artificial intelligence. He expresses concern not about a machine gaining its own will, but about machines without will becoming tools for a few human wills to exert subtle yet powerful influence over others. The book traces modern physics from probability and statistical physics to complex systems, spin glasses, and networks. The review was published on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 03:00.
