Unpacking Complexities with Mahault Albarracin: on Cognitive Computing, Sexology, and the Patterns that make a difference.

Join us as we try and discuss what cannot be discussed, touching on sexology, cognitive computing, and technology's role in societal change. Albarracin , currently pursuing a PhD in cognitive computing, delves into the definitions and interrelations between disciplines, the patterns that shape cognition and awareness, and the potential of technology to influence social dynamics. We touch on topics from the integration of diverse perspectives in understanding complex phenomena to the role of AI and its ethical implications. This journey is also an exercise in complexity, challenging traditional viewpoints and offering fresh insights into contemporary academic discussions.
