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.

Since August 2023, more than 5,000 women have used the TreC Mamma app, which promotes maternal and child health through new digital technologies. Saturday, October 25, Fondazione Bruno Kessler hosted the conference “FSE – TreC Mamma: A Digital Platform Supporting the First Thousand Days” to review the results achieved and discuss future prospects.

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.

The new "IA compliance mission" has been presented. An urgent challenge for our society, essential to accompany the acceleration of current technological development with confidence and responsibility. Michela Milano, head of the Research Center for Digital Society, inspired and led a participatory session, focusing on methodological and application aspects.

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.

The presentation event of the AIxPA project dedicated to artificial intelligence for Public Administration was held at FBK's Povo site
