ANSA conference: "Humanity augmented by artificial intelligence"

In 2022, there is hardly a sector of human activity that artificial intelligence is not profoundly transforming, revolutionizing it from within.

The good news is that it does not seem destined to replace the human being as many feared, but rather to exponentially "increase" their capabilities thanks to a new alliance between humanity and algorithm.

For this alliance to be possible, however, it is necessary to direct scientific research, political will and industrial strategy of Italy and Europe at the same time towards the development of a Human-centered AI: a human-centric, understandable, reliable and explainable artificial intelligence that helps to realize increasingly ambitious goals aimed at the common good.

This and much more will be discussed during the conference "

", the annual meeting organized by the Artificial Intelligence Observatory of ANSA.it, in

,

, and will be streamed on the homepage

Also this year, sector experts, scientists, researchers, representatives of institutions and companies will intervene to tell what opportunities and challenges - present and future - we will have to face at the Italian and European level in strategic areas such as digital transformation, sustainability, treatment of diseases, the development of businesses, the management of complex systems and even the war, fought both in the physical world, on the territory, and online, between the folds of the network.

"Humanity augmented by artificial intelligence" is a conference organized in collaboration with

"

" is the title of the panel that will see together

, Senior Cyber ​​Security strategist, journalist, computer scientist and

, professor of Information Processing Systems at the University of Naples Federico II, to explain how AI is radically changing the way of waging war, especially in the physical world, where in some cases it can even pilot weapons and establish military strategies, but also online, where it is used more than to violate systems. to manipulate opinions and create chaos.

Alessandro Mantelli,
