Learning outcomes

The main goal of the course is to introduce the students to the theories, the models and the applications of cognitive semiotics, reflecting on how signs, languages, and meaning shape our cognitive processes and constitutive a Semiotic Mind. Starting from perception, beliefs, language and habits, the course will prompt a deep rethinking of both classical theoretical models of human cognition and traditional and contemporary models of artificial and digital intelligence. Finally, the course aims at showing how, from the very beginning, artificial intelligence relies on a semiotic intelligence that shape both our biological and our digital world.
