ROMA (ITALPRESS) – UnitelmaSapienza between traditions and novelties. The Roman telematic athenaeus inaugurated the twenty-first academic year during an event in the presence of the Rector of UnitelmaSapienza, Bruno Botta, and of the Rector of Wisdom, Antonella Polimeni. A university that aims to maintain its strengths, recently certified in some industry rankings, but always trying to innovate, with new undergraduate courses and an ever greater openness to international students. Protagonist of the day, artificial intelligence together with the new challenges of technology, thanks also to a lectio brevis by Paolo Benanti, professor of moral philosophy at the LUISS University Guido Carli. “We have so many good results achieved recently, but what is wonderful are the new degree courses, such as that of Fashion theory and practices inaugurated a few days ago – the words of Rector Botta -. The future goals? We must continue on the road to internationalization. We’re also working on international doctors. If you do not open out, you risk staying as we are. The new degree courses we are working on are all international.” “I took part with pleasure in the inauguration of the academic year of UnitelmaSapienza, embellished by the contribution of Professor Paolo Benanti on the topic of the algorithmic, the formation and the importance of digital innovations – said the director Polimeni -. It was discussed how artificial intelligence should be accompanied in its formation, and therefore the role of universities in drawing the way for the future of artificial intelligence, read and brought forward also in an ethical key.” “Thinking the challenges of universities has led us to think about the new reality in which we live, a reality where objects have known the dimension of reality defined by software – said Father Benanti –. Those who control the software control the reality, that is why we inaugurated the new academic year looking at the challenges of being able to reaffirm a democratic society within this transformation.” “It was an important day, dense and full of suggestions. We wanted to address the theme of artificial intelligence in the presence of one of the most authoritative experts and scholars of this subject, such as Professor Benanti – the words of Mauro Giustozzi, General Director of UnitelmaSapienza -. If I can use two terms to synthesize the state of mind, on the one hand the great suggestion that arises from the scenarios we are facing, of great innovation and change, on the other the restlessness generated by the new and from what you do not know.” “We wanted to emphasize the importance of a digital university that does not replace the university in presence but the complete – said Carlo Garzia, representative of the students in the Board of Directors. We can reach audiences of people who would otherwise not know how to attend university, and deny them the possibility to attend the telematic university is to deny them the right to study.”.
