Thirty years of Artificial Intelligence

The Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence celebrates its first 30 years and for the occasion it will come the first AIxIA forum was organized in Milan.

But let's go in order.

The <a href=""https://aixia.it/"" target=""_blank"">Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA) is a scientific association, founded in 1988, which aims to increase knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, encourage its teaching and promote theoretical and applied research in the field through seminars, targeted initiatives and sponsorship of events.

Since its foundation, the Association has organized conferences in even years and congresses in odd years, opportunities for dissemination and partner involvement. The choice to celebrate 30 years of activity with a forum it is not certainly random. "Our researchers are third in the world for published articles and the very high number of citations enhances their relevance. - states President Piero Poccianti in a note - We just have to take ownership of this responsibility. and potential also in Italy and the organization of the AI ​​Forum will be the opportunity to involve institutions and businesses in this rebirth.""

The involvement of institutions and businesses is attributable to a new vision of Artificial Intelligence. If previously this technology only concerned a small circle of professionals, today we deal daily with this type of platforms which are an integral part of our lives.

We are increasingly aware that when we talk about Artificial Intelligence we are not referring to robots that look like us, but to algorithms that are able to simplify our lives like Alexa, Google Home or Siri. If we want to give a definition of this technology we can indicate with Artificial Intelligence everything which in terms of speed, accuracy and modality response resembles human beings.

Hollywood films have often influenced us negatively on the use of this technology, but today we know very well that, despite receiving precise answers to our questions with a female voice, they have no ability to respond. of calculation outside of what has already been inserted into the algorithm.
