​​Motivations and Objectives

​AI and Robotics are advancing rapidly in engineering and scientific fields, and are also strongly impacting non-technical domains. They are creating new markets and simultaneously raising fundamental new legal, social, and ethical questions.          

The interplay of these emerging issues will certainly shape the future of AI and Robotics applications.          

A comprehensive understanding of the broader implications of these technologies will lead to new scientific questions, driving innovation that aligns with fundamental human rights and fosters social acceptance.          

This dynamic interplay between technological progress and societal concerns will be the key to build markets and systems that are both responsible and sustainable.

The goal of the school is to bring together doctorate students, scientists, and professionals from the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and ELSE (economics, legal, social, ethical) disciplines to discuss about the contemporary key themes of the research in AI and Robotics from different perspectives to plot a vision of the future research and development challenges and opportunities in the key domains of Citizens’ Society, Healthcare, Environment, and Manufacturing.
