INITIATIVES
Congresses, awards and days of public dialogue on Artificial Intelligence.
SCIENTIFIC CULTURE AND PUBLIC DIALOGUE
Knowledge as a shared heritage
Spreading scientific knowledge is one of the fundamental expressions of the social mission of Fondazione ENIA – National Body for Artificial Intelligence.
Through congresses, public meetings, cultural initiatives and programmes that showcase innovation, the Foundation promotes dialogue between the scientific community, institutions, businesses and citizens, helping to make the transformations brought about by Artificial Intelligence, and the responsibilities that follow from them, understandable.
Public dialogue initiatives foster the circulation of knowledge, a plurality of perspectives and the development of a critical culture of innovation, in which technological progress can also be discussed and assessed through its economic, organisational and social consequences.
