    Data and algorithms to address failings in Italy’s justice system
    There are many miscarriages of justice that can occur in the Italian system: according to data from Innocent Project Italia, almost 32,000 between 1991 and 2024, for an average of 940 cases per year. This also causes economic damage to the state coffers, which have had to pay out around €1 billion in compensation over the last 35 years.

    A guide for ethical AI adoption in public administrations
    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.
