The WMF, as a platform for making the Future, has the mission of connecting personalities and projects that can provide a concrete impact in creating a better, shared and sustainable tomorrow. Cosmano Lombardo, CEO and Chairman, introduces the three-day WMF 2023 and its themes.

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.

Experts from the world of innovation will hold workshops to explain to participants fundamentals for their company's growth: from sales and marketing to the importance of the network and the pitch to brand and patents topic.

Alice Mangione irreverently portrays the interaction between humans and AI, bringing a particular version of the world-famous voice assistant onto the Mainstage.

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.

Pablo Trincia, a major voice of Italian investigative journalism, was the first to bring the serial podcast to Italy in 2017.

From genomics to imaging, from biomedical analyses to the ability to predict a patient's response to a particular treatment. If used well, AI can turbocharge researchers and doctors in finding answers to common diseases.

The daily lives of the Ukrainian population is marked by war and bombs. However, in this terrible context, one of Europe's most vibrant and active technology sectors thrives, fighting for freedom.

During the presidential elections in Mauritania held in 2019, political leader Biram Dah Abeid, with the support of his people, is fighting to eliminate the scourge of slavery in his country.

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

Let's look back together at the latest Instagram updates in recent months to understand how we can optimise our organic and non-organic strategy. How the algorithm works and how content ranking is done in 2023, broadcast channels for creators, new features for Reels and a number of important tips for testing and growing in the Meta platform

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.

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.

"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.

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 Centro Protesi Inail (Inail Prosthesis Centre) is a facility accredited by the Health Service, which has been welcoming people with motor disabilities since 1961 and which uses state-of-the-art technology to make customised prostheses and orthopaedic devices, flanked by rehabilitation training for the correct use of the device.
At WMF 2023, the Centre will present its 'Workshop 4.0' philosophy, highlighting how the creation of an orthopaedic device, whether for everyday life or for sports use, is the result of continuous experimentation with new materials and increasingly innovative construction techniques.
Finally, a look at the latest frontier in prosthetic control, represented by bionic prostheses: intelligent devices that aim to go beyond the traditional concept of prostheses and can give the patient a feeling of natural control of the artificial limb.

The increase in cyber threats has made cybersecurity an undeniable necessity for every business , especially small and medium-sized businesses. However, access to effective digital risk protection resources can be costly and complex, often putting SMEs in a difficult position. Cy4gate, with its innovative digital emergency response service ProntoCyber, has managed to turn this scenario around through a subscription-based business model.
Cy4gate's goal is clear: to democratize cybersecurity, making it accessible to all Italian SMEs through scalable and affordable investment. This solution gives SMBs access to tools and expertise typically reserved for larger companies, without having to worry about high upfront costs or technical complexity.
ProntoCyber is much more than a product, it is a radical change in the way Italian SMEs can address and manage cyber threats. Through this revolutionary subscription model, Cy4gate offers the opportunity to operate in a secure digital environment, protecting business continuity and growth.

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.

Moderated By Matteo Paradisi.

Emerging from Hell, the passage of time is admitted in this realm: here dawn and dusk, day and night are known, and light is declined in all its hues.

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.

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.

The evolution guided by TikTok means that we are increasingly finding content in our feeds based on our interests rather than the network of people and organizations we follow.

Is it an opportunity or a threat?

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.

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.
