Artificial Intelligence and Gender Stereotypes
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.

The Shape of Water - Innovation in the Era fo AI
While conventional innovation units aimed to foster progress within an organization, due to the emergence of AI, they appear outpaced, as real innovation is instead being driven by businesses units able to recognize the competitive edge brought by the technology's potential. Consequently, the challenge, then, is to rethink the role of the innovation function in a way that can effectively contribute to the AI-driven transformation, both directly and indirectly.

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.

From the 'age of work' to the 'age of participation'. A Manifesto for Wealth Redistribution
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

Digital Empathy - Why we fall in love with machines and are not reciprocated
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.

The paradox of Artificial Intelligence is that we are talking about a revolutionary yet inherently imperfect technology. However, the flaws of AI are not a limitation but the key to its potential. AI, being a human creation, reflects our own imperfections, and this characteristic can drive innovation and growth. That's why we must embrace imperfection and see AI in a new light, highlighting how the symbiosis between humans and machines can lead to a future where the imperfections of both complement each other.
