Fortifying Trust in the age of GenAI

In the era of rapid AI advancement, the promise of technological innovation coexists with profound ethical dilemmas. 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. We need to focus on Responsible Human AI systems, ensuring that technology serves to augment human potential and foster trust rather than undermine it.

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.

#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.
