#wirednextfest2025

From the Wired Next Fest to the Center for Digital Industry Demo Day, anti-counterfeiting labels and the app supporting new mothers — these are the FBK initiatives that made headlines in October.

Generative AI now knows how to persuade more than a human being: Riccardo Gallotti at Wired Next Fest 2025 discusses the risks and opportunities of this new form of persuasion

On 5 October, FBK researcher Yiming Wang participated in the Wired Next Fest at the Palazzo del Bene in Rovereto, presenting her talk “Amico Robot” (Robot Friend), where she explored the vision of how humans and robots will coexist in the coming decades. Wang has built her career in computer vision and robotic perception: at Fondazione Bruno Kessler she investigates multimodal models and scene understanding, with applications on assistive robotics.

Fondazione Bruno Kessler will be one of the key participants at WIRED Next Fest Trentino 2025, taking place in Rovereto October 2 through 5. The Foundation's events will explore topics such as green hydrogen and the energy transition, citizen science, digital justice, AI in medicine, complex systems, human-machine interaction, and intelligent robotics.
