CyberHorizons: explorations of the impact of the digital world on society and professions
Cycle of meetings
The CyberOrizzonti series of meetings, promoted by the Humane Technology Lab of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, was created to explore the relationship between human experience and digital technologies, with a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
