The Digitalization of Society: Trends and Challenges
In the first two decades of the 21st Century the process of digitization of all human activities has accelerated. Two major technological breakthroughs spearhead the changes: 5G network connectivity (with 6G already in the experimental stage) and the coming of age of Artificial Intelligence that allows for increasingly autonomous machines with decision making capacity supported by distributed Big Data. Social practices, organizations and institutions are in flux. We do not know which will be the precise impacts of these developments, but we know the current trends and the issues they raise. The lecture will examine these trends and elaborate on the challenges they present in the organization of work, in communication, in political disinformation, in the autonomy of social movements, in education, and in warfare. The results of multidimensional and technological change are not predetermined. They will ultimately depend on policies and strategies that this lecture will discuss.

Tech Transfer: the role of supercomputing in innovation
The transfer of expertise from the world of academic research to the world of industrial research is a fundamental component of our society's progress. In recent years, this relationship has grown in parallel with the spread of technology in all areas of our lives, paving the way for new and increasingly effective forms of collaboration and increasingly involving small and medium-sized enterprises as well. Cineca supports this path toward digitization and today, with the European Leonardo supercomputer, the fourth most powerful in the world, recently installed at the Tecnopolo in Bologna, reinforces its commitment to the transfer of enabling skills toward society. We talk about this with Cineca President Francesco Ubertini.

Generative AI Changes Everything
Over the past few years, rapid advances have created a new type of Artificial Intelligence: Generative AI. Generative AI produces novel text, images, music, and soHware by analyzing enormous collections of digitized material. Generative AI will change the way we live, work, play, express ourselves, persuade each other, seek a mate, educate our young, and care for our elderly. It will also upend our labor markets, reshuffle the social order, and strain both private and public institutions. This talk will explain how this new technology works and how it will impact human society

Being a Content Creator in 2023
Now more than ever, being a content creator can be a real job. Two factors have made this change possible: the opportunities offered by the many platforms in circulation and the unprecedented number of users present on social media. At the same time, technological barriers have been broken down, allowing anyone to be a content creator. In this talk, I would like to provide an overview of the current content creation landscape, discuss the important mindset shift necessary to make this your livelihood, and explore the monetization opportunities that creators often overlook.

From Boredom to Hype (and Vice Versa): Two Technological Cycles Compared: the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence
The talk will discuss the cycle of hype and how its rules are influencing innovation and technological investments. Ever since Apple introduced the iPhone, the technology industry has been chasing the next 'iPhone moment,' which Mark Zuckerberg identified in the construction of the metaverse, a concept to which he dedicated his group's rebranding. However, things didn't go as Zuck hoped, despite the Web3 fever that was blowing winds - and billions - in favor of the metaverse. It was ChatGPT, at the end of 2022, who reminded us how those moments of sudden change occur. But how similar are these two cycles?

The Limits of Engagement in Branding Activities
"We are not what we say, we are the credit we receive," wrote José Saramago. The metrics of engagement must give way to trust and credibility as a source of information that readers will attribute to us. It makes no sense to have a large audience obtained through populist or popular content if this following does not perceive us as honest, reliable, and solid from a professional point of view. Credibility is not measured in likes but through the number of people who turn to us for solutions to their problems.

How to Use NFTs, Metaverse, and Tokens to Promote Your Business
The video recording of this speech is not available.
Metaverses are virtual worlds used to interact with your audience and generate visibility for your product. In the metaverse, we can sell or give away Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) linked to the product, organize reward events, and exchange goods and services for payments. But what are the legal limits of these activities? Can I sell NFTs to third parties? What are the rules on intellectual property? Can I exchange my goods for metaverse payment tokens without the risk of violating anti-money laundering regulations? Lars' presentation will provide answers to these questions.

Content Repurposing: How to Seamlessly Integrate Your Website and YouTube
Many creators invest a significant amount of their time and resources in creating high-quality video content for YouTube or other social media platforms. As a result, the importance of having a website has diminished, as it is considered a less effective means of communication, being based on written words. While this is true to some extent, a website also has functions that cannot be replaced by video, especially when it comes to conversions of any kind. That's why it's important to integrate YouTube and your website. In this case study, we will explain how to do it efficiently.

Cash is the bicycle of payments, not the horse cart
Pronouncing the death of physical cash has been a futurist cliché for decades, but these predictions,are often based on flawed mental models of the cash system and how it relates to digital money. In,this talk Brett Scott shows why cash is not an outdated 'horse cart of payments', and why it's far,better thought of as the 'bicycle of payments'. The cash system is certainly under attack, but in a future of climate change, geopolitical insecurity, cyber-attacks and digital burnout it stands to make a strong comeback.

Le buone maniere
Mimmo Savarese, 50, was the greatest sports commentator of his generation. Now that his career is on the wane, he has an opportunity to make a comeback thanks to an unusual job offer, which conceals within itself the chance to masterfully avenge a dramatic wrong suffered as a child. He manages to retaliate against life with the talent he wields best: the exercise of words.

The Unspoken Words (and the Ones We Shouldn't Be Ashamed of)
There are journalistic expressions that have entered the jargon, and others that we do not pronounce because they seem offensive, when in fact they are the only ones that should be spoken. It is obviously incorrect to write negr, we all know that. But it is also incorrect to write zingar, no more no less. Autism is not a disease, autistico is not an insult, Down is capitalized because the Down syndrome is named after the doctor who first attempted a classification, and it is not the translation of the English word "down". No one is "down" in Down syndrome. It is preferable to use the term "deaf" instead of "non-hearing", it is wrong to say "differently abled", and it is better to say "person with disabilities". Alternatively - in a title - it is acceptable to write "disabled". Because "disabled" is not an insult, it is instead offensive not to know the right words to relate to others.

Brand admiration: how consumers' perception of brands has changed in 2023
Many companies assume that building a brand is more of an art than a science. The traditional model of brand awareness representation is outdated, as neuroscience research has investigated new ways in which information and emotions reach the consumer's brain to allow the memorization of a brand. Admiration is the emotion that drives this innovative branding model. The speech will present case studies of important Italian companies.

Generative AI disrupts education by giving superpowers to students and teachers
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT have disrupted the education system, by enabling students to generate perfect school and university assignments at a press of a button. But these tools can also be used to enhance the learning process, by creating personalized tutors which explain the material at any level and in any style. Teachers can also benefit from using the tools to generate lesson plans, presentations and interactive games, as well as evaluate tests and assignments based on custom criteria. In this presentation we will cover the different aspects of using generative AI tools in education, provide examples and use cases, and recommend best practices and policies.

What impacts can a designer's work generate? One of the main activities is to change users' established patterns with simpler, more intuitable ones. People desire change but are frightened by it, so a compromise must always be defined that facilitates them without upsetting the current pattern.

Synthetic data for responsible innovation
We often hear about responsible innovation, but what does that actually mean in practice? On a broad level, it means three things when you innovate: you want to respect the rule of law, do no harm, and you want it to do good. When we talk about innovating with powerful AI technologies, these concepts are often related to data privacy, and protection, ethics and bias, as well as the digital divide in making use of these technologies. We all know that economies and societies can benefits massively from AI when used responsibly. However, balancing the act of working responsibly while harnessing tech requires new ways of thinking and working. One of such emerging paradigm shifts is driven by Synthetic Data. In this talk Shalini will introduce how synthetic data is already changing the way companies are thinking about responsible innovation with a focus on privacy preservation, data quality and ethics, eliminating data scarcity and cutting costs in utilizing AI.

Agrifood living labs : How to innovate systemically for a regenerative society
Agrifood sector is one of the largest and most polluting industries in the world. Complex challenges like population growth, climate change, and resource scarcity are making it difficult to do business as usual. In order to aid the transformation at a large scale, we need to promote experimentation at a small decentralized scale. Living labs are regional hubs that facilitate the transition towards regenerative food systems by orchestrating open innovation processes among different stakeholders.

The social impact of sport and e-sports, research for our future
The video recording of this intervention is not available. Social impact is an indicator that is becoming increasingly important. Sport has clear benefits for both the National Health System as well as the justice sector; various attempts, more or less scientific, have been made to measure this impact. The research by the Regional School of Sport, together with various university institutions, aims to be the most comprehensive work on the subject internationally and, for the first time, to include e-sports.

Generative AI is The Future of Work
The power of data and AI should not only be reserved for the experts but should be accessible to everyone. AI will finally consumerize access to business information. Imagine combining ChatGPT and Apple Siri to create a user-friendly experience tailored to structured business data with powerful enterprise features to make business users speak with their data. Today, I’d like to show you an exclusive demo of a Generative Business Intelligence (BI) platform that makes data accessible through conversations or written chat. Business users can now converse with their data in natural language using voice and written commands. In addition, the AI continuously learns how users consume information and surfaces proactive & contextual recommendations similar to what Spotify and Netflix do with songs and movies. Generative BI becomes a virtual brain of the company’s knowledge that helps teams with data-driven decision-making, similar to asking a colleague for advice.

The website is primarily an important branding tool. The website is also a tool that locates a solution to a problem. In addition, for any company, it tends to the hub of all marketing activities: the nodal point between social, communication, research and sales as well as brand and image.

Public incentives to boost SMEs’ development and innovation: how to drive through tenders and PNRR funds
A widespread sentiment is that there is only one way to finance a rapidly growing company: equity from professional investors. But even fully funded companies like Tesla, Apple and Amazon have resorted (also) to public finance. These companies have used public aids measures to create a leverage effect over private capital, boosting their R&D investments. But how to (quickly) find out if a tender is right for a company's needs? How to avoid the risk of defocalisation?

The New Era of Internet Platformization
In the last 20 years, the web has been governed by platforms: data and attention marketplaces that have profoundly transformed internet business models, atomized the cultural production chain, and altered the dynamics that inhabit digital communities. However, two decades after the beginning of this "platformization" process, something seems to be on the verge of breaking: the arrival of new competitors, regulatory pressures from governments, and the rise of disruptive technological forces such as generative AI are challenging the market balance and the incentives on which this system has relied for two decades. What will happen next, and - above all - what will it mean for us?

From the crest line, the sight is exceptional, with splendid views of what is all around and promising follow up options. We can also perceive the massive amount of actors trying to climb and attain this 360 perspective. However, the slopes are steep and slippery, with many ways up turning out dead-end tracks. We advise on market prospects exploring Web3 expectations, hopefully enriched with most obvious AI support. However, upon our periodic analysis of what may work, be useful and efficient, and possibly lead to commercial success, we also take into account the difficulties, the time gap to full technological maturity, the ethical and legal hurdles and the security issues, already documented or to be anticipated. We will present three such developments.

Her perspective
Social media is a tool for representing and sharing one's experiences. Every day, we are used to observing various glimpses of daily life, stories about family and relationships, testimonials of diverse and apparently secure identities. And often, we are inclined to compare our own lives to what we see on social networks.

By delving into the document, we will discover that it is perhaps much less complex than we imagine: it's all about common sense, logic, and technical adjustments. We will dissect the document to extract best practices suitable for everyone.

Newspapers need readers, no longer the other way around. Everything has changed since the digital world entered the world of information, catching publishers, newsrooms, and especially journalists unprepared. It has been at least ten years since the strong wind started blowing in Italy too, but on too many fronts, the same mistakes continue to be made, confusing the means with the end and still not being able to identify the new profile of readers from now until the near future. Is it a matter of age, demographics? Yes, and much more.

Roots: from Perugia to create Business throughout Italy
ParkingMyCar Italia was established in 2018 as a platform for booking parking at ports and airports, with national coverage thanks to numerous partnerships with private parking lots, as well as official airport parking lots. In 2021, thanks to the internal development of our ParkingMyCar app, we extended our services to major Italian cities. Our approach to mobility and parking is global, and our goal is to offer a single solution to the user, regardless of his or her destination, so that he or she can monitor, book, pay, and stay through a single channel, ParkingMyCar. Our mission is to replicate the ParkingMyCar ecosystem in every urban context in which we operate, building an integrated and comprehensive system for drivers, citizens and tourists, bringing added value in terms of users and quality of service. By virtue of our global positioning and digital vocation, we represent a modern player capable of enhancing the digitization of the parking process, supporting managers and channeling users to the facilities we collaborate with, offering integration and connection between cities, ports and airports. ParkingMyCar is in effect a modern scale-up that identifies critical issues in the mobility world and studies digital and sustainable solutions to positively impact the community. We analyze, develop, test, launch new services, open new markets and try to scale up as fast as possible. That's what we've done for ports and airports, that's what we're doing for city parking reservations and digital payment on blue lines, that's what we're doing to provide management technology tools to facilitate the management of the parking process, that's what we're doing for the RV segment and to work on the concept of shared parking and to integrate parking and electric charging. These activities will be launched as early as 2023, while an internationalization strategy has already been planned in Spain and Germany, where from 2024 we will offer our services starting with the booking of long-stay parking

L'uomo lupo
Andrea, a boy suffering from schizophrenia, lives his life between the affection of the people who love him and have come to know him, and the distrust and hostility of those who see in his suffering only a reason to marginalize him. This hostility will translate tragically when during a TSO, the people deputed to take charge of his suffering show him all the violence of indifference. Based on the story by Andrea Soldi.

Inclusion and Self-Esteem in the Era of Social Media: How to Build a Positive Community
When we scroll through our social media feeds, everyone seems happier, more fulfilled, without imperfections. This can lead to a sense of inadequacy and insecurity, especially among young people who are more vulnerable. The magic word to use on social media is "uniqueness." Let's convey self-acceptance, kindness, empathy, and the value of diversity to develop a healthy balance. Safe online spaces lead to greater self-esteem and a positive impact on real life.
