L’Intelligenza Artificiale è entrata negli studi professionali
Uno studio realizzato da The European House Ambrosetti in collaborazione con TeamSystem, sul modo in cui gli studi professionali si stanno muovendo nell’attuale contesto tecnologico.In molti utilizzano la tecnologia anche per innovare i processi o introdurre nuovi servizi. E solo il 30% non ha ancora un piano operativo per introdurre l’AI nelle attività professionali. Il 76,7% è consapevole del ruolo che riveste in chiave innovativa mentre l’80% ha piena fiducia nella qualità dei contenuti generati.

EUROPE AND AI
“Più Umani, con Intelligenza”
Il Consiglio d’Europa ha adottato il primo trattato internazionale giuridicamente vincolante per garantire il rispetto dei diritti umani, della democrazia e dello Stato di diritto nell’utilizzo dei sistemi di intelligenza artificiale (IA). Il trattato, aperto anche ai paesi non europei, copre l’utilizzo dei sistemi di IA nel settore pubblico e nel settore privato e prevede requisiti di trasparenza e controllo adattati ai contesti e ai rischi specifici. La convenzione richiede anche alle parti di istituire un meccanismo di controllo indipendente.

L’intelligenza artificiale come ingrediente per i network
Il 26 giugno, ore 09:30 – 16:30, si terrà l’evento “Telco per l’Italia” in live streaming. Tra i temi chiave: Investimenti in reti sottomarine e satellitari in aumento. L’Italia può diventare “hub” e chiudere il digital divide. Monetizzare gli investimenti in reti e spingere l’adozione, nonostante il divario tra copertura fibra e take up. Serve rendere le reti più adatte alle sfide future, anche in ottica green.

Il Robot “addosso” per risparmiare energia
Researchers have developed a method to train and control wearable robots to directly benefit humans. The system, tested with able-bodied individuals, reduced metabolic energy consumption by 24.3% when walking, 13.1% when running, and 15.4% when climbing stairs. The method can be applied to assistive robots for both able-bodied and mobility-impaired individuals, and is being tested with older adults and those with neurological conditions.

Pillole “Intelligenti” in 3D
Scientists at the University of Southern California have developed an AI-powered system to track ingestible devices that monitor markers of disease in the gut. The system uses a wearable coil to interact with sensors in the device, allowing for precise location and 3D real-time monitoring of gases in the gut. This technology could help at-risk individuals monitor their gastrointestinal health at home without invasive tests.
