(Adnkronos) - “Meno dell'1% della popolazione globale ha accesso al linguaggio del codice, ma l’IA può diventare l’interfaccia inclusiva per democratizzare l’uso della tecnologia. Università e società devono esplorare i confini tra uomo e macchina, sviluppando nuove competenze per affrontare il futuro digitale.” Queste le parole di Padre Paolo Benanti, presidente della Commissione AI per l'informazione, Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri in occasione della Cerimonia di Inaugurazione dell'Anno Accademico 2024-2025 dell'’Università Luiss Guido Carli. Al centro della Cerimonia, il tema della rivoluzione dell’Intelligenza Artificiale.

00:00In this moment in the world there are 8 billion and 100 million and more people, with 6 billion and 100 million and more mobile phones, only 27 million know how to program the machine, they have access to the code.
00:18This is an unknown language, a language that excludes the 99.65% of people to know the machine in front of them.
00:26With artificial intelligence this can change forever, it can be that interface that gives a real property, a real ability of use to the people of these devices.
00:35If we use artificial intelligence as this new interface that gives ability and skills, then we can also change the right of citizenship in this digital world, which is one of the great missions of the university.
00:46I think that the skills we need, slowly that the machine becomes more powerful, are first of all human skills.
00:52It is the ability to be, ultimately, men and women for this period, able to control the power of the machine.
01:00And then we also need new skills, because artificial intelligence is definitely changing the map of what is needed to be able to be not only citizens, but also workers in this contemporaneity.
01:13The academy has always been questioning, starting from Socrates onwards, with a question.
01:18Socrates interrupted the dialogue of the opponents, asking what is the thing we have in front of us.
01:22Here, the academy must ask what is this new ability to act that we have in the mixed space between the real and the digital, which is artificial intelligence.
01:30And having understood what it is, we will understand what the limits are, understood as what the machine can do reliably,
01:37and what, instead, the machine does not have the ability to do reliably to be able to put man in a significant position of control.
01:43One of the great ethical principles is transparency.
01:45Transparency means the right to know what is on the other side.
01:48I think we need a lot of transparency.
01:50We have seen important battles.
01:52For this reason, think about the world of tobacco, where it was necessary to know with transparency that what we were consuming, as it is to consume digital products, could harm health.
02:02A battle to be fought, a right to be reaffirmed, something in which we also need a fundamental service for what is a republic, which is the service of information,
02:13because we need informed citizens to know what the limits will be that we want to implement in this relationship between man and machine in our democratic space.
