March 15, 2023The European (and Italian) road to a new artificial intelligenceThe European challenge for the artificial intelligence to come: being less muscular than the "made in the U.S.A." or "made in China" ones, more creative and above all capable of integrating skills and technologies to make people and machines work together. It is Integrative AI capable of creating solutions that will have an impact in many areas of our daily lives: health, cities, local areas, work.
