Artificial Intelligence in Research and Innovation
The Association for Scientific Exchanges between Austria and Italy (Associazione per gli Scambi Scientifici Austria Italia, ASSAI) brings together Italian academics and researchers residing and working in Austria. Its primary goal is to promote inter-university cooperation and scientific exchange between Italy and Austria. It achieves this by operating as a think-tank platform, which facilitates the transfer of experiences and best practices from its members to the scientific communities of both nations. Austria presents a particularly interesting ecosystem for Italian researchers, with its community of Italian scientists being the second largest after the German community, and the largest in any German-speaking country.
The first session of “In Dialogo con ASSAI,” held on April 24th, kicked off a promising series of events centered on “Artificial Intelligence in Research and Innovation.” This event gathered experts from various fields, including physics, cybersecurity, linguistics, and sociology, to delve into the practical impacts of AI.
Professor Matteo Maffei, along with other leading researchers, shared their insights on how AI is being integrated into cybersecurity. Their discussions explored how these technological advancements are shaping current and future security protocols, demonstrating the vast applications and implications of artificial intelligence.
The session fostered an open and multidisciplinary dialogue, providing a vibrant platform for attendees to discuss the intersections of AI with various scientific and cultural realms. The dynamic exchange of questions and ideas from the participants highlighted the session’s success and set the stage for further discussions in this evolving field.
This first meeting showcased the profound influence of AI on diverse sectors and set a robust foundation for subsequent dialogues focused on specific applications of AI in research and innovation.
