00:18President of the Research Technology and Society of Google, who intervened as a guest of honor.
00:23The central theme of the inauguration was the role of artificial intelligence as a motor of global transformation.

00:36through a dialogue between Manika and Father Paolo Benanti,

00:45I think that the skills we need, slowly the machine becomes more powerful, are first of all human skills.
00:51It is the ability to be, ultimately, men and women, for this period, able to control the power of the machine.
00:59And then we also need new skills, because artificial intelligence is definitely changing the map
01:05of what is needed to be able to be not only citizens, but also workers in this contemporaneity.
01:12The Athenaeum presented the new AI for Society research center,
01:16designed to analyze the impacts of artificial intelligence through an interdisciplinary approach
01:22that unites social sciences and scientific disciplines.
01:25This project is part of a broader training strategy that includes innovative study courses.
01:31Among the novelties is also the AI Literacy certificate,
01:35mandatory for master's graduates and intended to become a requirement for three-year courses.
01:41The AI for Society research center must be considered a reference point
01:46for the entire system of companies, institutions, the public system,
01:50because it will not only be a place of academic excellence,
01:55but it will be a laboratory of experimentation,
01:58in which companies and institutions will be able to experiment, innovate,
02:04adopting use cases together with our researchers, seeing how they can work.
02:09The ceremony was also the occasion to celebrate the international achievements of LUIS.
02:13More than half of the courses are in English and 28% of the students come from abroad.
