The General Conference of the Future Artificial Intelligence Research Project (FAIR), funded with €114.5 million by the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) under the PNRR, was held in Rome from December 10 to 12, 2025. Launched in 2023 and coordinated by the National Research Council (CNR), the project involves 350 researchers across Italy and brings together 25 public and private partners.

From the RaiNews Futuro24 episode filmed at the Foundation to coverage on artificial intelligence for public administration, and advances in neuroscience, meteorology, history, and cybersecurity: these are the FBK initiatives that made headlines in November

November 6 the initiatives for the digital transition of the region carried out under the Flagship Project were presented — 20 million euros from the PNC for four areas of intervention. In Trentino, another 1,254 projects from the PNRR amount to 40 million euros.

An important recognition at ForumPA 2025 for the project led by the Autonomous Province of Trento, with FBK as a key research partner. The goal: not an occasional but a structural adoption of artificial intelligence within the public administration system, particularly to support decision-making processes.

How can we build an ethical artificial intelligence (AI)? AI Ethics Canvas is a practical and interdisciplinary instrument based on research conducted by FBK’s Digital Common Lab within the AIxPA project, led by the Autonomous Province of Trento with FBK’s collaboration. Riccardo Nanni was among the main players in building the canvas. This tool presents a set of questions to which a multidisciplinary team needs to answer to devise an AI-driven service for public administrations (PAs). The AI Ethics Canvas helps to balance functionaries’ duties and obligations with citizens’ needs by providing a clear method to address these challenges. It is available for everyone to download.
