Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems a science fiction concept but is already present in our lives. It allows us to have personalized services, optimize business processes, recognize fraud, assess risks, improve treatment and medical diagnosis. And much more can be done when #AI knows how to learn and reason. But the enormous potential of this technology also poses legitimate concerns about the use of data, possible discrimination, alignment with human values, transparency, the need to understand how AI makes decisions, the impact on the world of work. It is our responsibility to plan the future we want, identifying ethical guidelines for the AI and defining guidelines that direct it in beneficial directions for individuals, society and the environment.
