From genomics to imaging, from biomedical analyses to the ability to predict a patient's response to a particular treatment, AI can turbocharge researchers and doctors in finding answers to cancer, metabolic conditions and immune diseases. But we need to train a new generation of multidisciplinary research teams to reap its advantages

The focus of environmental organizations is mainly on private jets, but it is the aviation sector as a whole that has a negative impact in terms of emissions produced. Below is Matteo Di Castelnuovo's analysis regarding the new Amsterdam airport initiative

An innovative approach to knowledge also passes through the use of AI and Machine Learning, explains Rector Francesco Billari in the editorial that opens the special issue of Bocconi's magazine dedicated entirely to the topic. Bocconi's investment in computational and data science is essential for research that has an impact on society

ChatGPT and generative AI risk amplifying phenomena like hate speech and online defamation, opening up ethical questions as well as legal ones. There is also the issue of energy consumption

It is not machines that perpetuate bias and prejudice because for their predictive responses they rely on what they have stored in them. To address issues of fairness and responsibility, it is therefore necessary to build socalled explainable AI systems

The basis of the epochal change we are experiencing today is information and its processing. But we are only at the beginning and the challenge on the horizon is to understand and control machine learning algorithms and the very nature of intelligent behavior through ever greater integration between cognitive sciences and computational neurosciences. Without ever renouncing, however, to be transparent, fair and responsible
