The digital era is transforming every aspect of our lives — from society to economics, from work to culture — generating extraordinary opportunities, but also a deficit of understanding.
Orbits - Dialogues with Intelligence was born to bridge this gap between technological evolution and human awareness, bringing together philosophy, business, institutions and young talent to understand and navigate the transformation of the post-AI era.
Not to chase technology.
But to guide it.
But to guide it.

Edition 2026: Places in Time
After the first two editions, Orbits evolves and establishes itself as a European cultural platform dedicated to understanding the transformation of the post-AI era.
In 2026 we start from a key question: how is artificial intelligence reshaping our habitat and the way we experience time?
AI is not just technology: it is redefining work, relationships and human value.

Past Editions
19-20.11.2025 | Milan | Palazzo del Ghiaccio
The Semantic Capital
Following the zero edition, Orbits – Dialogues With Intelligence landed at Palazzo del Ghiaccio, consolidating itself as a space for dialogue between companies, institutions and young people around a shared vision: doing better together.
Still guided by Prof. Luciano Floridi, the 2025 edition explored the effects of the digital revolution and artificial intelligence on economics, society and everyday life.
At the centre of the reflection, the Semantic Capital: that which gives meaning to the world and makes it possible to interpret and shape it. In a context where the production of information outpaces our capacity to understand it, Orbits reaffirmed the value of comprehension as a strategic resource.
The two days brought together academic, creative and business voices, with the participation of Maestro Giovanni Allevi and the involvement of over a thousand students thanks to the Ministry of Education and Merit and the Scuola Futura project.

Dialogues with Intelligence
The debut of Orbits - Dialogues With Intelligence sold out, marking the beginning of an open and participatory dialogue on the impact of artificial intelligence on our society.
During the first day, through an interactive journey guided by Luciano Floridi, participants explored how AI is redefining the relationship between technology and humanity. At the centre of the reflection: the uniqueness and irreplaceable role of the human being, alongside the potential and limits of technology in contemporary society.
The second day, hosted by the University of Milano-Bicocca, saw Floridi in dialogue with rector Giovanna Iannantuoni, moderated by Alessandro Cattelan.
The discussion addressed the challenges of university education in the AI era, highlighting the value of empathy, in-person teaching and technologies as tools for accelerating and deepening knowledge.
About Us
Orbits - Dialogues with Intelligence, conceived by Action Agency, is an interdisciplinary dialogue platform guided by Luciano Floridi to explore the digital revolution and Artificial Intelligence.
Orbits was born in 2024 from a shared intuition: to bring philosophy back to the centre of the debate on innovation, as a living tool for reading the present, imagining the future and training the only intelligence we truly need to protect: the human one.
This vision takes shape thanks to Luciano Floridi and Manuela Ronchi.
• Manuela Ronchi, a cultural entrepreneur and director of complex visions, leads the construction of Orbits as a contemporary show-how: not a simple conference, but a project platform in which every element — from the set design to the narrative rhythm — is calibrated to generate meaning, activate critical thinking and promote a dialogue equal to the complexity we live in.
• Action Agency, a communication factory that proposes innovative languages. Instinctively creative, we specialise in the strategic management of corporate communication and have all the tools to implement it in a bold, effective and distinctive way. We operate as a boutique that designs and tailors bespoke projects, knowing we can count on a highly selected and cohesive team. From our base in Milan we operate across Italy and internationally alongside brands, companies and institutions, and our reputation is the expression of the relational fabric consolidated over the years.
