The role of the university amidst advances in IA and social inequality

Abstract

This paper reflects on the role of the university amidst current changes, focusing on productive transformations and the advancement of artificial intelligence, using the film Gattaca as a metaphor. Through the theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Freitag, the implications of growing social inequality and unequal access to technology are explored. The need for universities to promote contemplation, encounters with otherness, and the improvement of everyday life is emphasized, addressing the challenges of a constantly changing world.
