Abstract

In the era of platformization, platforms induce us to build social relationships based on aggregative processes rather than rational thinking that goes through processes of abstraction and objectification of reality. The pandemic from Covid 19 has shown the phenomenon in all its severity, in a seesaw cycle of often contradictory information that has weighed enormously in public opinion, generating a dangerous situation of infodemia. Emotions are now prevailing in public opinion-building processes. The growing crisis in journalism and the loss of credibility and reputation of the traditional media has been embedded in a broader crisis affecting institutions, governments, science, and the foundations of democracy as we experienced them at the turn of the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. In the age of the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence, the definitions that applied until recently, the separation between real and virtual, categories that no longer exist with the increasingly massive digitization of processes, have been undone. In the medical field, too, the use of digital innovation, is becoming more and more widespread, and it brings with it numerous questions: in what digital innovation or AI can it be useful to medicine? Is it reliable? What risks do we face? Will computers replace physicians?
