Successful Round Table “The Savings of Europeans and the Future of Europe”, organised by CERSTE in collaboration with Federformazione and supported by BCC Napoli at Brussels – October 2nd, 2025
Call for papers for the 13th Caffè Group Meeting that will have as main topic “From the Economy of Power to the Economy of Democracy”. The CERSTE and the Università Federico II (Italy) organize a meeting on the though of Federico Caffè to be held in Naples on the 2025, 6th and 7th of March.
The event emphasizes how interacting with these technological entities requires a humanistic approach, suggesting that human skills that cannot be replaced are related to responsibility and ethics, not just cognitive abilities.
Dialogue between Engineer Alfonso Scarano and Professor Luca Mari, an expert in generative artificial intelligence, focusing on the importance and challenges of this technology.
Cultural and cognitive transformation brought about by generative artificial intelligence, emphasizing how this revolution is not only technical but also social. Schools, central places for learning, need to prepare for these challenges, going beyond just transferring information.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technology for improving the responses of artificial intelligence models, it works by transforming questions into numerical vectors through a technique called embedding, and then retrieving relevant documents from a vector database.
Traditional software is entirely programmable, a generative AI system has its own learning capability that makes it complex to regulate. This raises questions about who should be responsible for the ethical training of these systems and how to prevent inappropriate uses, a critical issue given their potential impact on society and culture.
Video conference promoted by CERSTE in which Professor Luca Mari delves into the operation of neural networks and emphasizes the distinction between training and network operation, explaining that, unlike traditional software, a neural network must be trained with two main phases.
