Piccoli budget, grandi risultati. Come l'AI potrebbe cambiare il gioco per gli sport di nicchia
In un contesto sportivo sempre più competitivo e dominato dai grandi investimenti, l'Intelligenza Artificiale rappresenta una risorsa chiave per le realtà minori, spesso penalizzate da limitate risorse economiche e scarsa visibilità. Lo speech offrirà una panoramica generale sull'applicazione dell'AI nello sport, approfondendo poi il tema specifico di come tecnologie avanzate, ora accessibili anche con piccoli budget, possano colmare il gap tra sport popolari e quelli di nicchia. Dal marketing allo scouting, dalla promozione alla performance sportiva, l'AI consente oggi a club e federazioni di nicchia di raggiungere risultati impensabili fino a pochi anni fa. Attraverso esempi concreti e scenari futuri, verranno illustrate opportunità, strategie e criticità che le tecnologie AI offrono per favorire una crescita esponenziale e sostenibile negli sport meno conosciuti, trasformando piccole realtà sportive in protagonisti di rilievo.

Driving Intelligence: a benchmark for AGI
In this talk, I undertake a dive into two ostensibly unrelated—and potentially profoundly consequential—technological developments of the twenty-first century: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AVs are designed to navigate complex real-world environments without human intervention, while AGI represents a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) endowed with human-level cognitive abilities. I do this specifically because I advocate that progress towards full vehicular autonomy stands as a novel and precise benchmark of humanity’s progress towards AGI.

The hidden infrastructure of effective AI implementations
We've moved past the era of simple prompts and into the age of sophisticated AI integration. Behind every successful AI system lies an invisible infrastructure of decisions that most organizations discover too late. This session maps the terrain beneath the surface - from the technical components to the interconnected web of data governance, integration architecture, and adoption dynamics that determine whether AI creates lasting value or expensive disappointment. From data preparation approaches that balance quality with speed to governance frameworks that enable rather than constrain, leaders and practitioners will gain practical insights for building AI capabilities that adapt and evolve with organisational needs.
