Through an introductory analysis of the concept of "digital" and its historical evolution, a basis is provided to understand in depth the Internet and the Web, exploring the evolution of the Internet, from its initial definition to the key phases of its development, culminating in the analysis of the World Wide Web, with a particular focus on Tim Berners-Lee and the operation of the network.

La seguente tesi rappresenta un approccio dettagliato all'interazione complessa tra il mondo digitale, Internet, il World Wide Web e l'Intelligenza Artificiale (IA) e mira a contribuire alla comprensione di un mondo in costante mutamento, fornendo spunti significativi per futuri sviluppi e ricerche nel campo delle tecnologie digitali e dell'IA. Attraverso un'analisi introduttiva del concetto di "digitale" e della sua evoluzione storica, viene fornita una base per comprendere in profondità Internet e il Web, esplorando l'evoluzione di Internet, dalla sua definizione iniziale alle fasi chiave del suo sviluppo, culminando nell'analisi del World Wide Web, con un particolare focus su Tim Berners-Lee e il funzionamento della rete. Successivamente, vengono esaminate le diverse iterazioni del Web, partendo dalla fase "Guestbook" del Web 1.0 e attraverso la rivoluzione sociale del Web 2.0, fino ad esplorare il concetto emergente del Web 3.0, spinto dalla tecnologia blockchain. Si passa dunque all’Intelligenza Artificiale e le sue diverse sfaccettature, con una panoramica della storia, delle sfide e degli sviluppi futuri, con un approfondimento su il Machine Learning e il Deep Learning, per comprendere come queste tecnologie interagiscano con il Web. In particolare, viene evidenziata l'intersezione tra il Web e l'IA, sottolineando come quest'ultima stia modellando il Web stesso, esplorando le modalità con cui l'IA sta cambiando il Web e come il Web possa essere potenziato da quest’ultima. In particolare, vengono analizzati gli utilizzi combinati delle due tecnologie e i vantaggi che ne derivano, ma anche le problematiche legate al copyright. In conclusione, viene affrontato un caso studio concreto, ossia l'utilizzo di ChatGPT, per dimostrare l'applicazione pratica dell'IA nel contesto del Web, evidenziando come questa tecnologia possa migliorare l'interazione e automatizzare i processi online.

Abstract
The following thesis represents a detailed approach to the complex interaction between digital world, Internet, World Wide Web and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and aims to contribute to the understanding of a constantly changing world, providing significant insights into future developments and research in digital technologies and AI. Through an introductory analysis of the concept of "digital" and its historical evolution, a basis is provided to understand in depth the Internet and the Web, exploring the evolution of the Internet, from its initial definition to the key phases of its development, culminating in the analysis of the World Wide Web, with a particular focus on Tim Berners-Lee and the operation of the network. Subsequently, the different iterations of the Web are examined, starting from the "Guestbook" phase of Web 1.0 and through the social revolution of Web 2.0, to explore the emerging concept of Web 3.0, driven by blockchain technology. We then move on to Artificial Intelligence and its different facets, with an overview of the history, challenges and future developments, with an in-depth analysis of Machine Learning and Deep Learning, to understand how these technologies interact with the Web. In particular, the intersection between the Web and AI is highlighted, underlining how the Web is shaping itself, exploring the ways in which AI is changing the Web and how the Web can be enhanced by the Web. In particular, the combined uses of the two technologies and the advantages that derive from them are analyzed, but also the problems related to copyright. In conclusion, a concrete case study, namely the use of ChatGPT, is addressed to demonstrate the practical application of AI in the context of the Web, highlighting how this technology can improve interaction and automate online processes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
