STEP is presenting a special evening dedicated to the film “2001: A Space Odyssey (Edition: Mission to Jupiter), from the visionary Stanley Kubrick

Thanks to the film's suggestions, the evening will explore the relationship between science and science fiction and delve into the theme of artificial intelligence and its self-awareness, which is perfectly portrayed in the film in the dialogues between humans and HALs.
The film “2001: A Space Odyssey is an icon of science fiction filmmaking and deals with deep themes about the nature of humanity and its relationship with technology.

Guided by moderator Massimo Temporelli, we will therefore have a lot of food for thought, which will be discussed first and foremost by the excellent guests Federico Cabitza and Viola Schiaffonati, who will offer their thoughts on these topics.

The evening will end with an open debate, during which the audience is invited to participate with questions and reflections on the topics addressed by the guests and the film.

For those who wish to explore the topics covered in the film a little further, a podcast by Massimo Temporelli will be available that will extend the discussion beyond the event.
