Le OGR Torino, AI4I e Fondazione CRT annunciano la formazione del Comitato Organizzatore di Mind Machines - AI Dialogues, il nuovo forum strategico fondato in collaborazione per esplorare l'impatto sociale, economico e geopolitico dell'intelligenza artificiale. Il Comitato è responsabile della pianificazione strategica e dell'esecuzione dell'intero programma. Il comitato è coordinato da Maurizia Rebola, Monica Nardi e Silvia Mattaliano, con Fiorenza Succu come Segretaria e Debora Furnari come Tesoriera. Tra i membri figurano voci autorevoli provenienti dal mondo accademico e corporate, dalla Fondazione CRT e da istituzioni pubbliche: Chiara Capotondi, Davide Canavesio, Ciro Cattuto, Vittorio Di Tomaso, Fabio Pammolli, Matteo Pessione, Luca Peyron, annamaria poggi, Alessandro Vespignani e Marco Zappalorto. Nel corso del 2025, Mind Machines ospiterà una serie di dialoghi pubblici e seminari specialistici che esploreranno come l'AI stia rimodellando la produzione, il lavoro, l'interazione uomo-macchina, la creatività e i processi cognitivi. L'iniziativa mira a promuovere una visione strategica, lo scambio interdisciplinare e una riflessione politica orientata al futuro. L'evento di lancio, tenutosi il 24 marzo presso lo Speakers' Corner delle OGR Torino, ha inaugurato il programma 2025 con la conferenza La geopolitica dell’AI: strategia, conflitto e nuovo ordine mondiale, che ha visto la partecipazione di Alessandro Aresu, Alessandra Benedetti e Fabio Pammolli, moderati dalla giornalista Floriana Bulfon. #WeAreOGR

Oggi, in un articolo su La Repubblica, il Prof. Alessandro Vespignani, Presidente di ISI Foundation, discute l'importanza delle nuove sorgenti di dati e dell'intelligenza artificiale per monitorare e anticipare la propagazione di virus a potenziale pandemico e, in particolare, dell'influenza aviaria H5N1. https://lnkd.in/dqxbn2Y7

🔥 This new research is lit! 🚒 Timur Naushirvanov has been analyzing evacuation patterns during the #wildfires that occurred in #Valparaiso, Chile, on February 2-3, 2024, using high-definition mobile phone records. In the paper "𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗼𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀," the researchers investigate the impact of wildfires on different socioeconomic groups in the region. The paper is co-authored by researchers: • Erick Elejalde from the L3S Research Center • Kyriaki Kalimeri (ISI Foundation) • Leo Ferres (ISI Foundation, Universidad del Desarrollo) • Elisa Omodei and Márton Karsai from the Central European University.

In today’s hyperconnected world, our digital footprints are constantly evolving as we share, post, and debate online. But how do our online conversations shift when major real-world events—such as the NBA Finals or a shocking political development—unfold? To answer this, alongside Anna Mancini, Giulio Cimini, and Riccardo Di Clemente, we analyzed online discussions on Reddit, Inc., a platform where millions engage in real-time conversations, share perspectives, and debate breaking news. While major offline events trigger a surge in online activity, they don’t necessarily foster deeper discussions. Instead, users tend to repeat the same ideas, accelerating the decline of meaningful engagement. This pattern suggests that rather than diversifying discourse, real-world events often amplify redundancy within online communities. Understanding this behavior is crucial for fostering healthier digital spaces, encouraging more dynamic engagement, and ensuring that communities remain places of meaningful exchange.
