📍ISI Foundation alla Biennale Tecnologia 2026 Politecnico di Torino
Mercoledì 15 aprile si è inaugurata la Biennale Tecnologia 2026 con la lectio magistralis di Alessandro Vespignani, Presidente della Fondazione ISI.
Il suo intervento ha esplorato la relazione tra esseri umani e intelligenze artificiali come un ecosistema complesso in co-evoluzione, in cui comportamenti umani e decisioni algoritmiche si influenzano reciprocamente, generando nuovi fenomeni emergenti e ponendo inedite sfide di governance. Oltre a delineare un'agenda scientifica per comprendere l'impatto dell'intelligenza artificiale sui sistemi socio-tecnici, l'intervento ha sottolineato l'importanza di identificare e dare priorità alle domande chiave che ci permetteranno di governarne al meglio l'adozione.
Nel fine settimana, inoltre, altri due ricercatori della Fondazione ISI prenderanno parte ad eventi ndedicati al ruolo dell’IA nella società:
📆 18 aprile, 17:00–18:00 – Dialoghi con il chatbot OLO
Rossano Schifanella (UniTo & ISI) con Federica Joe Gardella (PoliTo) & Enrico Giacopelli
Dagli spazi urbani ai data center: vivere nell’era delle infrastrutture digitali
📅 19 aprile, 15:30–16:30 – IA e realizzazione umana
Kyriaki Kalimeri (ISI) & Dirk Hovy (Bocconi)
In che modo l’IA può supportare il benessere, le relazioni e la fiducia civica?

ISI Foundation, represented by our Senior Researcher Kyriaki Kalimeri, has been invited by UNICEF to contribute to Behavioural Horizons – Futures of Behavioural Data Science, AI, Technology & Development for Children taking place in Florence, November 17–19, 2025.
As part of our ongoing work on AI for humanitarian response, we’re excited to join an exceptional group of peers from across the United Nations ecosystem, the wider global academic and innovation community.
Being in the company of so many impactful agencies and experts underscores not only the importance of this event, but also the growing need for responsible, human-centered AI to support vulnerable populations — especially children.
Looking forward to meaningful discussions, new collaborations, and shaping the future of AI for social good.
