Event co-organized by UNINT and INFORAV as part of Rome Future Week 2026.
Artificial intelligence and quantum technologies are transforming the way we work, learn, communicate, and decide. Often, however, these topics are described in technical language that limits understanding—and when understanding is left to specialists, decisions that affect everyone are made by a few. Gli spazi del comprendere (The Spaces of Understanding) was created to bring these technologies to a broad audience—because understanding is a citizen's right—through informative presentations, interdisciplinary reflections, and experiential roundtables, placing the individual and the human-in-the-loop principle at the center.
During the event, the Master's Degree in Computer Engineering for Immersive Technologies and Artificial Intelligence (LM-32)
