CERSTE - CENTRE EUROPÉEN DES RECHERCHES SOCIO-ÉCONOMIQUES, TECHNOLOGIQUES ET ENVIRONNEMENTALES

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

The conference held in the European Parliament on 21 May 2025 addressed and discussed several points of growing concern regarding the possible reformulation of the European Union's budgetary priorities, in view of the next revision proposal that the Commission will present in July, in which inland areas and LAGs are not at the centre of investments.

Invitation to the online conference with Prof. Luca Mari on the topic entitled: "How to evaluate the quality of behavior of a GenIA model?"

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.

Call for papers for the meeting at Federico Caffè round the topic "Economic policy at the service of people".
