Description
SPEAKER: Francesco MARCELLONI (University of PISA), Professor of Data Processing Systems at the Department of Information; Vice Rector of UNIPI for international cooperation and relations.
ABSTRACT: This talk will be about the potential risks of AI — including generative AI — and how these risks can be addressed from both a technological and legislative perspective.
BIO: graduated in Electronic Engineering in 1991 and Ph.D. in Electronics, Information and Telecommunications Engineering in 1996, both from the University of Pisa. After a period of time spent at the University of Twente (the Netherlands), his academic career has continued at the University of Pisa first as a researcher, then as associate professor and finally as a full professor in Data Processing Systems.
Francesco Marcelloni’s teaching activities have been centred around the core subjects of the degree course in Computer Engineering and the advanced courses in Data mining for the Master’s degree course in Computer Engineering and Bionics Engineering. From 2003 to 2007, he headed three educational projects, financed by the Tuscan Region, for vocational modules in new university degrees.
His research interests are aimed principally at computational intelligence and its engineering applications, with original and innovative contributions relative to fuzzy classification, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, genetic fuzzy systems and fuzzy clustering algorithms. Recently, his research focused on Big Data, proposing new classifiers on the Spark and Hadoop platforms, on smart cities, with new approaches to the identification of traffic accidents, monitoring energy consumption in the home and on data compression in sensor nodes.
