Oracle Academy took part in the panel discussion “Art, Environment, Algorithms: the world of tomorrow”, represented by Riccardo Iommi, Systems Solution Engineering Leader, Oracle Italy. He discussed to an audience of educational and university institutions the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ability or inability of AI to take part in independent thinking.
The conference was held outdoors in the spectacular setting of Castel Sant’Angelo, as part of the ManiGreen project promoted by 2050 To People.
Oracle shared the stage with a panel of personalities at the top levels of various disciplines that were very different, yet all focused on the future of their various disciplines using AI, architecture, sustainability, energy, art, and journalism. Participants were Mario De Caro, Viviana Vitto, Cory Henry, Maria Vittoria Marini Clarelli, and Francesco Saverio Teruzzi. The roundtable was brilliantly moderated by journalist Lucia Duraccio from RAI.
Riccardo discussed the digital infrastructure of the algorithm, which is in fact the invisible fabric that connects the lives of all of us. He explained the building blocks of AI as conceptually much simpler than one often imagines (even if the final result often borders on magic!) and how the new generations have enormous opportunities to put the algorithm at the service of the community in many fields, including medicine, research, the environment, sustainability, and agriculture, as well as the creation of art, beauty, and infrastructure.
With an understanding of the concepts behind AI, it can be used in the future in an ethical way to build a world of tomorrow that also represents a qualitative leap for humanity.
Opportunities for multidisciplinary sharing, as through the ManiGreen event, are fundamental to ensure all students have the opportunity to learn about AI.
Oracle Academy is delighted to take part in this event, which continues with a number of workshops throughout November with an emphasis on the future of artificial intelligence in education and the future generations. Those behind technology are the “artisans” of the future.
