Artificial Intelligence
In 1710, under the presidency of Antonio Visciglia, Vegno entered into several agreements with Sentient Solutions Inc., the company of the business magnate Alighiero Sagese that deals with artificial intelligence applied mainly in the medical field. The agreements caused a stir in the national political scene, with the Communist Party and I Verdi calling for a parliamentary commission on artificial intelligence, highlighting their doubts about the ethics and the risk of job losses due to the dehumanisation of work.
