Artificial Intelligence represents a tremendous opportunity today. An opportunity for creating new services, for the world of work, and for improving the society in which we live. But as always, with great opportunity comes great responsibility, and we must ensure that technology and its widespread use do not create disparities or exacerbate existing ones. Therefore, we will address the issue of gender discrimination perpetuated by AI systems by reviewing some cases from recent years and discussing the underlying motivations behind them.

Wisdom & Leadership in the AI Era
Global culture is rapidly transforming as digital technology, in particular AI, becomes an integrated aspect of how we see and engage with reality. Many leaders are challenged as they try to keep up with the growing complexity and demands of the hyper-paced digital economy while also leading their teams through this time of uncertainty and change. It is not enough to be agile and technologically savvy in these times. As various modern day philosophers have urged, it is emotional intelligence and mental flexibility, guided by a deeply informed value system, that will enable people to adapt and potentially thrive in these disruptive times. It is a nuanced understanding of the upside of human potential, and the mental discipline it requires to cultivate this, that will distinguish the leader of the future from an ordinary leader. The leader who can navigate this new climate, role-modeling the internal resources needed, such as self-awareness, presence, empathy and wisdom, can encourage their teams to move beyond fear and creatively participate in shaping this new era of possibility. A leader who recognizes that we must make progress in wisdom as fast as we make progress in technology.

Short story long: Consulting firms communicate poorly because communicating like this no longer works today
We are inclusive, innovative, and sustainable." "With us, you'll find a fresh and stimulating environment." "Resources are important to us." Yes, on social media, and then nothing is true. How many times have you experienced this boredom towards brand communication? Too many for me. Today, consulting firms are too focused on talking about their products and services, and this makes them very dull. What is needed? Talking about the needs of their target audience. Only in this way can turnover and frustration be reduced, and the best talents attracted. Because let's say it, this institutional communication is just from...consultants :)

The body and the digital: exploring online body positivity
The web can be a powerful tool to give a voice to causes that have been ignored for too long. Starting from my story, I will talk about how the Internet can be a means to understand that regardless of one’s body, every individual deserves respect and the same opportunities given to those with a body that conforms to society's standards. I will share the challenges I have faced along the way and how I have overcome common prejudices, using my online platform to inspire and encourage others to do the same. We will then examine how the web can be a fertile ground for creating inclusive and positive spaces that celebrate diversity in all its forms.

HOEPLI - THINKING THE FUTURE: Greg Hoffman – Designing Emotions - Lessons in creativity from a lifetime at Nike, with Cristiano Carriero and Riccardo Scandellari
Often, brands promote the "culture of identity," building teams around the personalities of leaders, thus avoiding dreamers with their eyes wide open, ignoring the taciturn because they assume that being introverted is a sign of weakness, and seeking those who resemble them. But often creative success comes from listening to people who don't think like us, from those dreamers who, faced with something taken for granted, look at you with a spark in their eyes and say, "What if..." We discuss this with Riccardo Scandellari and Cristiano Carriero, Hoepli authors, speakers, and branding experts.

Graphic Optimisation on Amazon: the power of design to achieve success stories
This speech is dedicated to the crucial importance of graphic optimisation on Amazon. In a universe of possibilities such as that offered by the world's largest e-commerce platform, it is essential to seize opportunities as effectively as possible.And this path starts with brand identity. Who would have thought that design could have such a profound impact even in a complex environment like Amazon?From the first image on our listing, our design strategy merges with our marketing strategy to increase CTR (Click Through Rate) and capture the attention of users. But we don't stop there. We move on to standard images, a process that balances information and style to deliver an engaging and informative experience.We then move on to A+ content, an often overlooked but crucial stage for conversion.And finally, we reach the store brand: no longer a simple catalogue, but a true e-commerce in which design plays a decisive role.With concrete examples of 'before and after', I will demonstrate how correct graphic optimisation can prevent a user from continuing to scroll, leading him instead to explore and eventually take the desired action. In conclusion, design is not just an aesthetic factor, but a key element for success on Amazon.

We live in an era where AI is extremely expensive and energy-intensive: large language models (LLMs) have opened up incredible opportunities, but at what cost? Is it really the only way to rely on the use of omniscient LLMs so that AI can assist us in everyday life? We want to discuss how Embedded AI is sometimes a more effective and sustainable alternative.

Reboot Internet! Who 'broke' the network? Who's responsible for fixing it?
Born as a space for creative freedom and democratic participation, the Internet has transformed into a vast arena dominated by economic interests. Valerio Bassan, author of the book "Rebooting the System: How We Broke the Internet and Why It's Up to Us to Fix It" (Chiarelettere, 2024), reconstructs the processes that have made the network increasingly akin to an "uninhabitable place," and reflects on how we can dismantle the monopolistic and extractive mechanisms governing the web.

After launching and experimenting with SGE since May 2023, Google started testing generative search even for those who had not requested to be part of the experiment in Search Labs. This is - or seems to be - the preliminary step to its final release. What does the release of SGE mean for all companies that see organic search traffic as an essential channel for their business model? What are the risks and potential benefits? How does it change the way of thinking, planning, and implementing SEO? How does generative search integrate into the broader Google ecosystem and beyond Search? In his talk, Gianluca Fiorelli will present - with plenty of data - the upcoming landscape, and will introduce ideas, strategies, and tactics necessary not only to withstand the impact that SGE will have but also to take advantage of its arrival, and how these strategies and tactics are not only necessary to maintain or improve visibility in Google but also in other ecosystems such as search on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot.

Dear Design, how much do you cost me?
Powered by
How do you deal with organisations that would desperately need design, but have no budget? The problem is that a service design project that is done well, that goes deeper (read: in which research is done properly), that does not merely replicate quick solutions tried and tested elsewhere, does indeed cost money, and is something that companies with a certain turnover or size, or at least a certain programmatic intention, can certainly afford. But those who do not have those resources, or those who have them but do not feel like taking the risk and investing in something they have never done before, are left out. However, if the governing principle of all design is 'try to do better with less' then we can try to apply it also to the estimates we present and the activities we put in place, in order to be able to offer something even to small realities: this is not the road to 'low cost' design, but rather a design challenge: how can we work while maintaining quality but better negotiating the activities actually needed and making the most of the resources already available?

What Destroys a Creative Process
Creative agencies often rely on traditional metrics such as profitability, comparing estimates to actuals, or "billability." Recent studies show that incentives, rewards, and punishments do not unleash the team's potential and lead to short-sighted decisions. Discover how new tools and technologies can revolutionize the approach, providing strategic data on new variables, to unlock the team's potential and promote more strategic, as well as tactical, business management.

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Cities of the Future
In this presentation, I will describe how the vast amount of data on our daily behaviors (social interactions, movements, purchases) and the development of innovative models in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (such as deep learning and generative AI models) and complex systems are enabling the emergence of a new science dedicated to the study and design of cities and urban environments. For example, studies will be presented demonstrating how machine learning algorithms and new data sources can be used to estimate the socio-economic conditions of a neighborhood, predict crime levels in an urban area, and understand which features would allow the design of vibrant places capable of stimulating social interactions and creativity. These findings open the doors to a new way of studying cities and human societies through computational tools and with a depth and scale never before possible.

Sustainable fashion - an oxymoron?
Sustainable fashion - is it just an oxymoron or the goal to be achieved? According to EU Strategy for Circular Textiles, fast fashion will be out of fashion by 2030. Why do we focus on fashion in the context of sustainability? The impact on the environment is, in fact, enormous. It takes a lot of water to produce textile, plus land to grow cotton and other fibers. To make a single cotton t-shirt, 2700 liters of fresh water are required and according to estimates, it is enough to meet one person's drinking needs for 2.5 years. Textile production is estimated to be responsible for about 20% of global clean water pollution from dyeing and finishing products. The fashion industry is estimated to be responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions - more than international flights and maritime shipping combined. The way people get rid of unwanted clothes has also changed, with items being thrown away rather than donated. Less than half of used clothes are collected for reuse or recycling, and only 1% of used clothes are recycled into new clothes, since technologies that would enable clothes to be recycled into virgin fibers are only now starting to emerge. The question arises: Are the environmental (and also social) costs of providing us with cheap clothing worth it? As consumers, we all cast our votes. We all make the decisions. However, there's a noticeable attitude-behavior gap among consumers. While our knowledge of the environmental impact of fashion sector is growing, our behaviors are changing slowly. During the industry's transformation, we notice paradox of co-existence of ultra-fast fashion and local craft. At the same time, this transformation opens up space for new ideas, innovations, startups, and business models that can help the sector transition to a circular economy.

How AI will bring value (and money) to women with cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills

The proliferation of artificial intelligences will eliminate many jobs, but will generate value and money in many creative fields. For example, there will be fewer computer and technical professionals, fewer employees in administrative offices, cashiers, and call centers. Conversely, in all professions and sectors, especially for top roles, humanistic skills, interdisciplinary knowledge, and soft skills will be increasingly in demand (and well-paid). The intervention explains how and why women are more capable of navigating these changes.

DPIA, FRIA, CA: the AI assessments required by law
Today, there are various regulations that require companies and public administrations that provide or use artificial intelligence systems to conduct assessments on the impacts of AI and how these systems comply with the law. This is the case, for example, with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): those intending to use an AI system must conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Additionally, the AI Act, the new European law on artificial intelligence, requires conducting a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) when using an AI system. The same law also introduces the obligation to conduct a Conformity Assessment (CA) to demonstrate the compliance of one's AI system with the requirements of the AI Act. This speech will present the various assessments that businesses and public entities must conduct on their AI systems to comply with legal obligations. It will explain how to conduct these evaluations and with what methodologies, highlighting points of contact and differences, while also focusing on the benefits that can arise from their correct and timely completion

You don’t have to contribute to Open Source

Sometimes work commitments or maybe a full personal life make it hard to find time to contribute, and that’s not a problem, it shouldn’t make us feel guilty.Helping a colleague to use a technology, making it more accessible by spreading it among their links, are examples of activities that really benefit the entire ecosystem, but do not entitle them to a "badge".If you really want to contribute to open source, you should first learn what open source really means, and then we can talk about some tips on how to contribute effectively.But don’t feel "obligated" to do it.

After the emergence of various creators over the years, we now find a new generation of "anti-influencers" completely revolutionizing the landscape. While in the past, comedic entertainers with their skits dominated, today there are content creators who share "their art" or "their craft," allowing people to learn or delve into their work and passions. Thus, culture is emerging as a new form of entertainment, making it "sexy" yet also trashy in its presentation. Sabina Wayroll is a tangible example of this and will discuss it during this interview with Riccardo Mortelliti.

Provocative question that prompts reflection on the double face that this job has in Italy.I will analyze this cue from a highly personal perspective, taking a leap into the past and trying to identify the motivations that triggered such a strong passion in me, in such a short time (and whether it makes sense to pursue it).Examining the past seems like nonsense at such a fair, but it is only by reflecting on it that future direction can be envisioned.

Generative AI: Potential Impacts on the Job Market, Creativity, and Social Aspects
Generative AI is a rapidly growing sector that is transforming society by expanding creativity, ideation processes, and productivity. However, the impact on employment is complex, and both the positive and negative aspects need to be analyzed. There are also significant security risks, and the new capabilities of language models can even threaten democracy. Finally, the emerging trend of humanoid robotics could also reduce human manual labor.

I visitatori di un e-commerce incontrano a ogni passo ostacoli che li spingono ad abbandonare il sito, a non completare gli acquisti o a comprare una volta sola. Il segreto per rimuovere gli ostacoli - e ottenere il maggior numero di clienti fedeli - è analizzare con l'AI tutte le tracce dei visitatori. Come un sesto senso, l'AI rivela immediatamente le somiglianze nel percorso d'acquisto dei clienti fedeli e suggerisce come guidare gli altri visitatori lungo la stessa strada sicura.

Google Maps of the 1800s, a historical journey
Powered by
There is a man who was revolutionary for the kingdom of Naples and beyond in the 1800s, a man who meticulously crafted the largest collection of the most widely used atlases of that period. Borders, countries, regions and even food maps. Benedetto Marzolla, a Brindisi cartographer, left a very important archive of cartographies that today we want to superimpose with reality, making you navigate without getting lost on the way! The path of musealization is underway, with the collaboration of the Brindisi order of architects and the PCTO of the Marzolla classical high school. The project sees the collaboration of companies involved in digitization but especially with the high technology of overlaying the mapped image and the satellite image, 3D immersion paths accessible for all. The project sees a comparison of what were the technologies of the 1800s with our modern times.

Deepfakes hold immense potential for artistic expression and entertainment, yet their misuse threatens to corrode societal trust and manipulate public discourse. As a result of the exponential growth of generative AI, urgent questions arise regarding privacy, consent, and the integrity of truth in the digital age.

Robotics for Social and Work (Title Soon Online)
In 2022, 50,659 occupational diseases were reported in Italy, with more than 70 percent involving the musculoskeletal and connective system. These figures highlight the urgent need for digital transformation in domestic and international industry, especially considering the aging of the European population, projected to increase by 30 percent by 2050 for those over 65. To counter these challenges, iCub, a humanoid robot from the Italian Institute of Technology, is evolving into ergoCub, a future collaborator to prevent musculoskeletal diseases. This prevention will also be supported by artificial intelligence-enabled wearable technologies that quantify and predict risks during common work activities. The collaborative project between the Italian Institute of Technology and INAIL, called ergoCub, aimed to develop such technologies to protect workers of the future, presenting the results in this report.

Ai e creatività pubblicitaria: le forchette brutte e il pappagallo stocastico
If there is one trait that distinguishes humans from machines, it is creativity, that is, the ability to solve problems in novel ways. The _creative industry_ economy, which employs thousands of nerds in Milan and elsewhere, is based on this trait. One piece at a time we are handing over creative work to machines. Perhaps we will all go on holiday and perhaps we will learn to live in a cultural context in which all books, films and works of art are created by a non-human being. Let us reason together about the mechanisation of intellectual work and the consequences this revolution will have on the universe, on our lives and especially on the Instagram editorial plan that I have to deliver tomorrow at ten o'clock.

And it's even more true in the Web3 era - the third wave of the web driven by decentralization and blockchain - where the biggest deals are made online. There are new markets, communities are fundamental. But traditional affiliate techniques and big tech are not dead yet, and marketing still relies on three magical words: mindset, persuasion, and strategy

Conquering Bias In Google Ads: A Match Type Deep Dive

Most marketers agree that broad match is bad, manual bidding is old school, and that suggestions from Google are designed to make the most amount of money for the ad network. Yet there are use cases for every lever in Google Ads and sometimes human bias and human behavior can get in the way of profitable marketing. In this data driven and action item oriented session, attendees will:
- Have their biases around match types and bidding challenged through data as well as how to set up tests to confirm that they're on the right path given their budgets and industry. - Understand how much the SERP has evolved to accommodate for user behavior and how those signals are available to Broad match by default. We'll also go into how you can simulate those signals for Exact match - Addressing the if this, then that logics for when one lever will probably be more profitable than another including budget, conversion volume, and timelines for success.
This session is geared towards agencies and in-house marketers who are tired of hearing Gurus post one sided click bait and are looking for a framework to make Google Ads work for them with data to back it up.

#mareAsinistra - attrarre talenti in Puglia
Il racconto di una suggestione, quella di nomade digitale, che diventa strategia di attrazione e valorizzazione di talenti grazie alla capacità di ascolto della Regione Puglia. Approfondiremo, insieme a Rocco De Franchi - comunicazione istituzionale Gianna Elisa Berlingerio, Direttora del Dipartimento Sviluppo Economico e Silvia Visciano, Dirigente delal Sezine Ricerca e relazioni internazionali - i concetti di Restanza e Tornanza, e le opportunità per chi sceglie di lavorare in Puglia, proposte nel documento strategico regionale #mareAsinistra..

From the 'age of work' to the 'age of participation'. A Manifesto for Wealth Redistribution
Sponsored by
The global media landscape is rapidly evolving due to continuous technological innovations, revolutionizing every aspect of our daily lives, work, and interpersonal relationships. However, this progress raises concerns about ethical, social, and economic implications, particularly regarding the asymmetry in wealth distribution. The proposal to address these challenges through a conceptual map that integrates technological innovations, wealth distribution, social impacts, and sustainability aims to provide an interconnected view of contemporary challenges. It seeks to imagine a new paradigm in which participation in network dynamics generates shared value, avoiding a drain of resources from the physical world to the virtual world

Adopting Generative AI: An Operational Readiness Framework for Businesses
Sponsored by
The real value of Generative AI lies in its large scale adoption. As per the report by BCG, around 40% of businesses have taken no action, 50% are piloting, and only 10% have been able to scale successfully, causing a huge gap between lagging and scaling firms. Most of the pilots are randomly selected in silos without a long term adoption strategy in place, without involvement of the cross functional team and support form the leadership. With this approach, most of the pilots will fail to make it to production. An operational readiness framework can mitigate this gap and improve the chances of successful scaled Generative AI adoption

The brain at the service of brands in 2024
In 2024, the idea of a brain serving brands represents
an exciting convergence of neuroscience and marketing, giving brands
unprecedented access to the minds of consumers. This approach, based on the
latest discoveries in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, allows
marketers to better understand consumers’ decision-making processes and adapt
their marketing strategies more precisely and effectively. Using neural data, brands can design more engaging and
memorable brand experiences. This could include tailoring advertising messages
based on individuals’ brain reactions or designing physical and digital
environments that positively stimulate consumers’ brains. With a better understanding of how the brain works,
marketers can optimize communication to maximize impact. This includes the use
of colors, words and images that positively activate brain regions associated
with attention, memory and emotions. The brain at the service of brands offers enormous
potential to improve the effectiveness of marketing strategies and create more
meaningful brand experiences for consumers. However, it is critical that this
power is used responsibly, balancing innovation with ethical and privacy
considerations. The speech will present the latest research on this
topic and present application case studies.

Effective Strategy for Introducing Artificial Intelligence in Companies and Generating New Clients
Powered by
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) can help companies find new customers. By integrating AI into a system that uses multiple communication channels, such as social media, emails, and chatbots, companies can always be present and ready to respond to customers. By analyzing data collected from these channels, AI can understand customer preferences and predict what they might want in the future. This helps companies offer products or services that better meet customer needs, increasing the chances of attracting new interested individuals. Fortunately, the web offers a wealth of usable information. For information that cannot be found online, a telephone robot can be programmed to contact people directly. This robot can automatically call potential customers to introduce the company and even schedule appointments. In this way, AI helps bridge the gap between the information available online and that which requires more direct contact, making the customer acquisition process more efficient and straightforward. It can also send a personalized SMS to each contact, an email, or any other form of contact.

Silver Generation and inclusion in cultural policies. A new dignity with the project “24”
In lower Gallura, the municipality of Budoni is characterized by a recognizability linked to the large seaside flows in the high season months. However, the morphology and history of the area sees 24 hamlets on the fringes, inhabited mainly by a segment of over-65s, (latent) bearers of local tradition, of anecdotes about productions, linguistic minorities, ways of enjoying slow time. With the 24 project, the inhabitants of the hamlets become leading actors in the creation of community experiential tourism, nurture participatory planning appointments, and are at the forefront toward a positioning of the territory that brings their history closer to that of digital nomads in search of contexts untainted by mass superstructures.

FLACO talk No data strategy no party (but don't tell ChatGPT) Data strategy is and always will be the basis of everything
If there is a real paradigm shift in data collection and analysis, it is certainly not dictated by AI; in fact, artificial intelligence gives the opportunity to take the right lead from automations. Who dictates the rules of the game today is centralized data collection (no longer in silos). To stay the strategic course, it is necessary to have a "brain oriented" Data Strategy. We discuss this with two veterans.

It is a digital currency detached from any bank and the current system. Here's how a company can anticipate the future today by seizing the opportunities that come from being among the first to adopt this new technological standard.

It represents a new paradigm that perfectly blends Media, Retail, and eCommerce: it allows advertisers to turn the purchase moment into a unique advertising opportunity through highly targeted ads, and enables retailers to transform first-party data, audiences, and spaces into a new stream of profits.

Science, Technology and Women’s Work
Powered by
In Italy, the female employment rate (55.3%) is lower than the EU average (69.3%) and the gender pay gap remains significant. Many women leave work due to maternity or family care responsibilities (20%). According to the ISTAT 2023 Report, tertiary education supports female employment and job retention post-maternity. Despite this, only 18.1% of women graduate in STEM fields compared to 38% of men, with women preferring natural sciences and mathematics, while men choose engineering and ICT. Female-led innovative startups constitute 13.6% of the 13,402 registered by the end of 2023, showing a higher presence of graduates and PhDs. The rate of female inventors in Europe (13.2%) is lower than in the United States (15%) and significantly lower than in South Korea (28.3%) and China (26.3%). To improve the situation, it is necessary to address the gender gap in research, development, and innovation, and implement effective policies to increase female presence in these sectors. These topics will be discussed during the "We Make Future 2024" event organized by the COTEC Foundation in Bologna from June 13 to 15.

Vanilla JS: You Might Not Need that Library
Every couple of months, a new JavaScript library is hitting the scene, each promising to fix our previous coding dilemmas. But what if we took a step back and revisited the fundamentals with good old Vanilla JS in 2024? Let's talk about embracing the simplicity and speed of development that comes with a 'vanilla' approach. This session is all about exploring how to craft rich web apps and websites using nothing but core JavaScript and browser APIs—no dependencies and all the power! If you have never created apps with Vanilla JS, now is the perfect time to understand it.We'll journey through the modern landscape of JavaScript's foundational features, which have evolved into a robust suite of tools. From Web Components to Shadow DOM, Reactivity and declarative templates, PWA APIs, reactive programming, and client-side routing, we'll uncover how to harness these powerful features you typically get from libraries. Let's rediscover the potential of returning to the roots of web development and see what your code can do without libraries or frameworks!

The rhythm of transformation: to create content that expresses itself
The sound changes everything: from selecting a music track for a crucial scene in a film, to immersive audio effects in a short; sound allows me to perceive, experience, and enjoy content in a completely unique way. But how did I transition from listening to creating? How has sound influenced my journey? When I create a video, I don't just produce images, but shape a universe that also unfolds through audio: tracks that can evolve into performances, yielding results beyond expectations. Can sounds capture attention? Can I create cross-platform content, with effective audio, even for Spotify? How much does a sound make a difference in what I create? In this speech, I narrate my evolution, and how sound has given it rhythm

Brand relationship with its stakeholders as the foundation of digital strategy
Il settore automotive è stato significativamente influenzato dalla pandemia: i costi legati all'acquisto e alla manutenzione delle automobili hanno registrato un aumento e una diffusa mancanza di conoscenza di soluzioni di mobilità alternative da parte del cliente finale ha limitato la crescita del mercato. In questo contesto la rete distributiva dei concessionari si è trovata costratta a interrogarsi sul proprio ruolo e sulla propria necessità di trasformarsi. Nel periodo post pandemia il settore ha cominciato a riprendersi, sebbene con alcuni cambiamenti strutturali: aumenta l'attenzione verso automobili più economiche e compatte, così come la domanda di veicoli elettrici e ibridi; la diffusione dello smart working ha portato a mettere in discussione l'idea di «auto di proprietà» il che rappresenta un cambio di paradigma a favore di un consumo più consapevole, sostenibile e accessibile, per ridurre gli sprechi e ottimizzare tempo e risorse. Mobilità e abitudini di consumo stanno cambiando: le persone hanno una maggiore consapevolezza ambientale e cercano soluzioni "stress-free" e di elevata qualità a un prezzo accessibile. Horizon Automotive approccia questo cambio di paradigma come una opportunità per offrire una soluzioni flessibili e servizi innovativi, che hanno come cardine il concetto di "phygital". Tecnologia disruptive da una parte e presenza territoriale dall'altra, grazie a una rete di concessionari che grazie a questa proposta hanno trovato la chiave giusta per rinnovarsi e intercettare segmenti di mercato che negli ultimi anni avevano perso o che rimanevano "immobili" rispetto alla scelta di cambiare auto. La comunicazione di questo approccio e posizionamento attraverso il brand passa dalla relazione con tutti gli stakeholders: dai produttori, ai partners del settore (concessionari in primis), i fornitori di servizi e tecnologia, i collaboratori e infine i clienti. Italiaonline Web & Communication Solutions collabora con Horizon Automotive nello sviluppo di una strategia di comunicazione omni-channel uniforme e coerente, che porti i valori e l'expertise di Horizon Automotive sia sui canali offline che su quelli digitali ottimizzando i canali social e la strategia media. Brand identity e Strategia digitale vanno rivolte a tutti gli stakeholders con gli obiettivi di: Far conoscere e rendere riconoscibile il brand Horizon, educare e coinvolgere l'audience grazie a contenuti utili, accessibili e autorevoli, trasmettere tutti i vantaggi del noleggio a lungo termine e posizionare il brand come leader di mercato nazionale del noleggio a lungo termine e non solo, educando le persone al concetto generale di «nuova mobilità alternativa alla proprietà

Generative AI and Content Creation: the end of copyright
Let's talk about how the advent of generative artificial intelligence has subverted the twentieth-century concept of copyright, forcing stakeholders worldwide - from US film studios to Chinese content creators - to completely rethink a notion that seemed established in the rights landscape since the Berne Convention of 1889. What future and what positioning for creators of intellectual works? It's a global challenge to which we attempt to provide direct and reasoned answers

Chronicity, Illness, and Social Representation: Reflections from a Clinical Perspective
In recent years, the representation of endometriosis, PCOS, vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, PMDD, and other conditions related to chronic pain, gynecological, and systemic issues on social networks has exponentially increased. The social representation of illnesses (both physical and mental) constitutes a valuable resource for both users and professionals: patients and users can find a community, information, discussion, and support; clinical staff can use these spaces for scientific dissemination, awareness raising, and direct communication with users. However, social spaces can also facilitate the spread of inaccurate information and polarization. This contribution therefore has a dual objective: the first is to reflect, from the perspective of a person working in the clinical field, on ways to bring users and professionals closer together, using social media to bridge the gap between these two groups of people; the second is to provide insights into the limitations, negative aspects, and potentially risky aspects of the social representation of chronicity and illness, and to propose strategies to minimize them.

HOEPLI - THINKING THE FUTURE: It Takes Courage - For a sustainable and inclusive company
Courage in the workplace is not a heroic and solitary gesture but can become an alliance, the courage of many. There is a new way of doing inclusive business, and Sara Taddeo will explain it to us, prodded by her interviewers. It's easy to talk about courage, but without concrete examples, one doesn't get far. In her book, Sara shares reflections, anecdotes, thoughts, conversations, ideas, models, opinions, stories, and even some tools. And, above all, courageous professional experiences. Because our courage always influences that of the people around us and, if well directed, it can become collective courage and social responsibility.

GENERATIONS IN COMPARISON - Marketing and communicating with five generations of users
Tell the truth: how many times have you listened to your boss thinking "Ok boomer" or looked at the young intern wondering if they knew how to do anything besides scrolling on their smartphone? Today, we are required to always be up to date or even ahead of the market, but the problem is that decisions are often made by people with different mindsets who are forced to collaborate. The risk that generational stereotypes may cause us to miss incredible opportunities is too great to be overlooked: on stage, Rachele Focardi, author of "Generazioni a confronto", will confront a Millennial and a Gen Z to help us understand how to avoid it.

Digital minimalism, being consciously present online
"Minimalism" is the art of recognizing the strict necessity to live one's life authentically and consciously. Today more than ever, this mindset is essential, even when it comes to our relationship with technology. We spend much of our time with our heads bowed over smartphones, now a true and prolonged extension of our bodies and often our world. Thinking of our lives without the internet and social networks seems almost impossible today, yet until a few years ago, we managed to do so. As always, the right measure is in the middle: finding a healthy way to use these tools is possible, but it requires training to use them intentionally. During the talk, we will discuss how it is possible to change our relationship with technology, particularly with social media, thanks to the presence of guests who were among the first to experience minimalism in their lives.
This session will take place in the Open 11 - Hall 30.

Refrigerators that do the shopping for us, cars that drive while we read a book, software that works for us. But also, televisions that listen to our conversations, algorithms that profile our tastes, spyware ready to sneak into our smartphones to steal our data. Digital transformation is changing our relationship with the world: "things" are becoming increasingly intelligent, bringing us a more comfortable life and endless opportunities, but also ever-new risks. And the possibility of controlling them, of course, albeit at the cost of gradually sacrificing our freedom. Are we really 'Watched and Happy"?

Google Ads in 2024 IN PRACTICE. Beyond Anglicisms and excessive technical jargon, the data that (still) truly matters
By analyzing over 1000 Google Ads accounts each year across various industries, with both high and low budgets and different goals (sales or lead acquisition), we realize that the key elements to check for a high-performing account are always the same. However, today the trend is to overuse third-party tools and collect too much data, losing focus on the metrics that make a difference. In a world where automation is increasingly present, analyzing less means analyzing better.

The current evolution of information systems towards increasingly pervasive AI raises now issues of truly crucial importance. Among them, perhaps one is almost dramatic: in a world where many decisions could be made by algorithms, how can we control them? How are they created, where do they run? What are the technologies involved? And ultimately, who is in command?

Artificial Intelligence and the Impact of Fake News in the Health World
Powered by
When we think of the light and dark sides of the force, we are immediately transported into a cinematic dimension where the dualism between good and evil is narrated in a simplified scenario in which it is easy to identify the good from the bad. One might then ask what this introduction has to do with artificial intelligence and the Health world. Well, although it is highly discouraged, often the first contact with information regarding health is through the internet, with all its pros and cons. The widespread dissemination of fake news related to the health world, for example, projects us into a dualistic dimension of maximum trust or high hesitation towards the healthcare system. Moreover, so-called fake news can be more plausible if generated by AI. The statistics are clear: these have fueled doubt and suspicion towards healthcare systems worldwide. In this intricate world of news, where it is not always easy to distinguish the good from the bad, it is always artificial intelligence that can play the role of an antidote to counter increasingly sophisticated disinformation systems. The circle closes, therefore, leading us to a true opposition between two forms of AI in the Health world.

Discriminations Produced by Data: How to Narrate Them and Raise Awareness
We live in a data-informed era where the expression "it's in the data" seems to be the mantra for the objectivity and reliability of all kinds of content, from political to media-driven. With a feminist approach, however, we will observe how data, far from being neutral tools, are instead social constructs and reflect the biases and contexts in which they are collected, influencing our narratives of reality.

We will begin by defining their respective traditional roles and how they have evolved in the digital context. Influencers, through platforms such as Instagram and YouTube, have gained credibility, but there are ethical challenges when the two worlds overlap. However, there are examples of successful collaborations, such as integrated campaigns and content partnerships. We will delve into the implications for the creator economy, including sustainable business models. The goal is to identify collaboration opportunities to enhance content quality and reach a wider audience, considering key skills such as adaptability and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Agents of Education: Using Generative AI to build agents to support teaching and learning at different levels of education
Generative AI prompting is not one-directional but?can allow interactions with third parties.?It can be used to create agents that can support the teaching and learning of learners on your behalf. In this talk, I will discuss how through the use of simple prompting a specialised agent persona can provide teaching and learning support on behalf of parents. Similarly, it can be used by teachers to provide learning outside of the classroom. These agents can?function by interacting with learners specifically around your requests, by teaching them things parents and teachers want them to learn, and by reporting back to you about every conversation they have had with the learner. We?created an agent using the LLM OIMISA-7B.?I will elaborate on this through studies I have conducted with teachers and parents respectively.?The agent was designed to be a conversational Teddy bear that is a study buddy for children who plays with children and in-between play engages them with activities, talk, and learning, as per the prompt request of their parents. All of this without the child feeling like it is an enforced activity. It also reports back to the parent or teacher so that they can get the information needed to personally, or through the agent, further support and engage the learner at a highly personalised level. Finally, I will talk about the importance of building specialised language models, in contrast to using generalised models, to power such agents especially for vulnerable groups like young children, and end the talk by showing our framework to build such agents with a focus on discussing how it can be used for different levels of education.

Through an analysis of recent studies and surprising results, we will examine how these simulations can influence our perception and decision-making processes, also investigating their limits and ethical and practical implications. An exciting journey through the technology, psychology, and behavioral science of artificial intelligence.

Zero trust for cloud native applications: how service mesh can help you securing workloads
We live in a brave new world of cyber attacks, state-sponsored hacking and global instability fueled by (cyber and not) wars; perimeter security is just not up to the task of securing the modern digital infrastructure. Zero Trust Security Model assumes that an enterprise-owned environment is not different or trustworthy than any non enterprise-owned environment. In this paradigm, an enterprise must assume no implicit trust and continually analyze and evaluate the risks to its assets. We will show how we can simply and scalably implement new ways to perform the necessary steps towards achieving perfect zero-trust architecture, and what entails for operations and development.

How are Influencers faring in a Post-Pandoro-Gate World? Are they still relevant for brand communication? In this talk, I will provide my perspective on the role of influencers in society and their ability to shape public opinion and consumer habits. I'll present insights and empirical evidence on how, in a world where politics, religion, and brands increasingly struggle to resonate with their audience, influencers remain the only viable option to achieve this goal. Denigrating and attempting to regulate this phenomenon with outdated dynamics serves no purpose, except to generate confusion on the matter.

The role of AI in disinformation and misinformation: how to promote the quality and reliability of news
According to the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2024, manipulation and falsification of information represent the most serious short-term risk to the world. In the next two years, misinformation and disinformation will be the greatest challenges to the democratic process. This risk is amplified by the widespread use of generative AI in the production of so-called "synthetic content." However, is it possible to instead use AI to promote reliable and high-quality information ?

In the last two years, we have witnessed a Copernican revolution of social media as we have known them. With the introduction of the "For You" section on TikTok (and all the imitations that have followed), we no longer see the content of the people we follow but rather the content that the algorithm believes will interest us. This deeply changes the relationship between creators and their followers, as well as the strategy of companies aiming to pursue marketing objectives on social media

Digital Empathy - Why we fall in love with machines and are not reciprocated
Sponsored by
Anthropomorphic and humanoid robotics are becoming more and more like human beings, as are digital avatars. Thanks to artificial intelligence, their way of relating to us will become more and more indistinguishable from the way human beings relate to each other. This is a 'Turing test' of a higher level, and we will slowly begin to attribute to machines (physical or digital) feelings similar to ours, with very interesting implications on a technical, marketing and social level. This will lead machines to simulate states of consciousness and affection, and will lead humans to develop affection and love for them as well, with questions that we will have to start answering. For example: can a machine have civil rights? Can it be directly responsible for the things it does? Can it be the object of a human being's love or the subject of that love itself? There will then be a new type of 'product' that will take a special place in our lives, a road entirely to be explored.

#SaveSSN: together to protect the National Healthcare Service.
Back in 2013, the GIMBE Foundation launched the "Save Our National Health Service (NHS)" campaign to raise awareness among decision makers, professionals and citizens about the need to put the NHS back at the center of public debate and the political agenda. But after 11 years we are actually sliding from an SSN established to protect a fundamental right to 21 regional health systems based on the laws of the free market. Universality, equality and fairness have been betrayed, with serious health and economic consequences for people. That is why the GIMBE Foundation launched the civic network #SalviamoSSN, to actively engage everyone in protecting and revitalizing the SSN.

We will show that future AI ethics will be neither a legal regulation, nor a set of norms, but a working methodology.

What are DAOs and why do they have a promising future?
DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) represent an evolution in the business sector thanks to decentralization. They consist of a treasury (a series of digital assets), a smart contract (operational rules), and a community (a group of interested parties). Maker DAO is one of the most well-known examples, with a treasury of around $7 billion. Similar to traditional corporations, DAOs operate with complete autonomy through smart contracts, although they are sometimes critically labeled as DINO (Dao In Name Only) due to excessive marketing use. There is a growing interest in a regulated approach at both the European and Italian levels, exploring DAOs as Delegated Authorized Organizations

How to adopt 'startup thinking' within a company to foster an entrepreneurial culture
Businesses not only need to open up to the external ecosystem through Open Innovation, but they must also act simultaneously on processes, methodologies, and culture to promote real internal transformation. Startups are not only seen as potential innovation partners but also as organizational and process models to be inspired by, to bring new approaches into the company, fostering people engagement, and spreading entrepreneurial and innovation culture

AI-Video Beyond Image Generation. Wow Tools to Speed Up the Production Process
Generating images of kittens practicing yoga or pandas skiing is undoubtedly fun but not always useful in creating web content. Artificial intelligence in the video field is not just about this. Production times and costs are drastically decreasing. The last few years have seen the emergence and development of platforms that have also forced major players in the industry to change direction. In the presentation, I will introduce some interesting tools for your social videos. Post-production is not reserved for professionals; in fact, fewer technical skills and more original ideas are needed. There is room because I will present those features that will certainly succeed in bringing even the most skeptical and reluctant individuals closer to video creation.

The development of a Regional Information System for Prevention and Safety in the Workplace (SILAV) as the first key piece of the Regional Prevention Information System (SIrP) being planned and with which SILAV is to share essential design, architectural, infrastructural and cooperation elements. SILAV and SIRP fit into a context of profound digital transformation. In particular, the project must ensure the monitoring, effectiveness and governance of prevention initiatives conducted at the corporate and regional levels. For the achievement of all these objectives, in fact, the SIrP must also possess suitable functionalities and characteristics to achieve the integration of prevention with other dimensions of regional health and ensure the interaction and information exchange both between the Prevention Information System and, in perspective, with other information systems, health and non-health (i.e. territorial, environmental, urban, labor, ...), so that, through the generation, analysis and synthesis of adequate information flows, it will foster - the knowledge and control of phenomena that affect health and safety; - the development and pursuit of targeted prevention strategies; - the planning and coordination of evidence-based initiatives and interventions; - the continuous monitoring of the Essential Levels of Care The objective of creating a regional information system for prevention must make it possible to offer all the actors involved a series of specific functionalities designed to improve the level of service of services, the efficiency and effectiveness of prevention activities and the satisfaction of people as well as public health monitoring and interoperability with external systems.
