“Artificial intelligence is the revolution of the century. And we’re still only at the beginning.” Thus began the round table “Bringing AI to Life in Strategic Sectors: Opportunities and Challenges”, an active discussion, moderated by journalist Barbara Carfagna, which saw the participation of various important speakers.

The event took place at the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, with the new exhibition “Ambienti 1956-2010 Environments by Women Artists II”, of which Almaviva is the innovation partner​.

“Artificial intelligence is found in many things and has a wide variety of applications. Companies face some significant challenges when it comes to implementing and using AI. One of these is data collection and management. Without quality data, AI cannot function properly. So, companies must ensure that their data is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. In Italy, we excel in various sectors, but only through deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of AI, together with appropriate policies and procedures, can we fully harness the potential of this revolutionary technology,” commented Valeria Sandei, CEO Almawave.

Is Italy ready for efficient government? “Public administration has its slow processes, but also its strengths and areas where it can act swiftly. The PA has an internal drive for innovation that must be supported.” “I believe that digitalization is transforming various key sectors. There are many benefits of adopting AI, starting with improving the efficiency of work processes. In fact, for us, predictive analysis is crucial as it makes it possible to anticipate where a problem is and then support operators in the identification of illicit activities,” said Rosario Massino, Division General, Commander of the Special Units of the GdF.

“Without data engineering and quality, any AI platform would be meaningless, so it’s essential to start with the data. It’s important to make proper use of AI, which, for me, has two main objectives: one related to driving innovative solutions and the other to supporting operational processes and making services more efficient, without replacing humans, but rather assisting them appropriately,” says Paolino Iorio, General Business Manager for Sogei. “The digital revolution of our Italian healthcare system is constantly expanding. We’ve developed an AI program that helps general practitioners manage large volumes of health data and make more accurate decisions. Italy is one of the countries most engaged in the process of digitalizing healthcare,” emphasizes Domenico Mantoan, CEO of Agenas.
