A successful conclusion to the event that Osborne Clarke organised yesterday on the topic of artificial intelligence.
Mauro Martino, founder and director of the Visual Artificial Intelligence Lab at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge, MA, USA, spoke with Gianluigi Marino, Osborne Clarke's Head of Digitalisation in Italy, in an ambitious meeting and discussion aimed at unravelling the many questions that accompany the development of the AI society.
‘Driving the evolution of artificial intelligence means helping to define the future of global storytelling. Although this raises important questions, in the long run we can see AI as an ally for the progress of humanity. Biases? We cannot eliminate them completely, but AI allows us to identify them and explore new solutions to proactively address them,' Mauro Martino said.
‘The more the power of artificial intelligence relies on black boxes, the more crucial the issue of the explainability of its operation becomes, both when evaluating the artificial intelligence system to be adopted and during the life cycle of the product/service to which it is applied,’ added Gianluigi Marino.
The event was also the occasion to announce the three winners of the #FindTheOrange AI [Photo] Contest, the competition for images processed with artificial intelligence organised by #FindTheOrange, the non-profit association founded by Osborne Clarke in Italy.
Francesco D'Isa, philosopher and digital artist, Giacomo Nicolella Maschietti, journalist specialising in the art market and Cinello Unlimited's head of communications and external relations, and, although not physically present with us, Silvia De Felice, project manager of Rai Cultura's art programmes, talked about the motivations and final impressions of this project: ‘An intelligent contest that stimulates debate on the relationship between technology and art and that between creativity and copyright. Topics on which opinions continue to be multiple, divergent and enriching'.
Riccardo Roversi, co-managing partner of Osborne Clarke and chairman of #FindTheOrange: ‘We are an innovation-oriented international law firm that, through the non-profit association #FindTheOrange has chosen to promote progress and development in the visual arts, as well as in life sciences. Hence the idea of a project the aim of which was primarily to bring people closer to this new technology and to fuel a debate as transparent and constructive as possible'.
