The Soccer Data Cup is an innovative initiative, unique of its kind, organized by the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and University of Pisa, two partners of the SoBigData consortium, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR). The second edition was organized at L’Aquila (Italy) on 5-7 May 2019 and was totally dedicated to women.
SoBigData was at the BIGSSS Computation Social Science Summer School on Migration in Sardinia, Italy.
The Summer School brings together interdisciplinary researchers to work on seven projects concerning migration topics. SoBigData funded two travel grants for female participants in the school.
The SoBigData infrastructure with its datasets and methods related to migration were presented to participants in a seminar with the title: Big Data Mining and Machine Learning for Migration Studies.
UOMINI E MACCHINE, REGOLE PER UNA SANA RELAZIONE
La tecnologia è sempre più pervasiva, molti ambiti un tempo riservati all’uomo ora sono appannaggio delle macchine. Ci sono dei limiti da conservare? Delle regole da rispettare? Come deve essere organizzato il rapporto tra noi e le intelligenze artificiali? Al Wired Next Fest una serie di riflessioni di strettissima attualità, al confine con l’etica, in compagnia di Paolo Benanti, frate francescano che da sempre si occupa di bioetica ed etica delle tecnologie, e Dino Pedreschi, informatico dell’Università di Pisa.
MORE WOMEN IN STEM: INTELLIGENZE ARTIFICIALI (E UMANE)
Quanti dati produciamo durante una nostra normale giornata? Tantissimi: basti per esempio pensare alla posizione tracciata dal nostro telefono, che ci segue durante i nostri spostamenti tra casa e lavoro e via dicendo. Questa mole di dati può essere utile alla scienza per capire i fenomeni che li governano e rendere le nostre città più intelligenti e umane. Con un'attenzione ovviamente per la privacy di ciascuno di noi.
On 27th of May Fosca Giannotti talks about tools for Open and responsible Data Science @ Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy at the Workshop "How to Comply with the Ethical and Legal issues in Research Institutions: a Focus on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Scientific Research".
Fosca Giannotti has been interviewed for the Workshops to design a Human Centered AI roadmap in Europe, in the context of the Humane-AI project.

We work for a technological advancement that puts human beings with their rights and values at the center: a technology that guarantees respect for privacy and ensures the use of transparent and non-discriminatory algorithms.
