World Health Day will be celebrated on Sunday, April 7. One of the issues debated in recent years is the importance of diagnosis: according to a 2016 University of Baltimore analysis, in the United States alone, medical errors cause more than 250 thousand deaths a year out of a total of about 2.6 million deaths.

The relationship between technology and society resembles the relationship in a couple: one influences the other and vice versa, but in order for this to happen there must be a party of two. With this interpretation key, through the examination of case studies that embody the most pressing discussion nodes around innovation, digital media sociologist Davide Bennato tells how our society is rapidly changing and what risks and opportunities can be expected

The recent surge in the artificial intelligence (AI) debate has been fueled by the release of ChatGPT and more recently the European Parliament and Council's agreement on the AI Act. This groundbreaking legislation will regulate AI use in the EU by imposing varying levels of obligations, restrictions, and prohibitions based on different risk categories. The AI discussion is no longer confined to the realms of computer science and engineering but has expanded to include philosophical, legal, economic, and sociological questions due to its wide-ranging implications.
