Broad left coalition, first programme talks: proposals for an AI ministry and an Italian "Cern"
Published
In the centre-left, known as the "campo largo", a first "call", meaning a remote meeting, is scheduled to discuss the joint programme. According to available information, among the first shared proposals is the creation of a ministry dedicated to artificial intelligence and technology.
Another idea concerns the establishment in Italy of a "Cern" for artificial intelligence. CERN is the major European research centre for particle physics, located in Switzerland. The aim of a similar centre for AI would be to bring together research, expertise and investment in a single place, in order to develop this technology collectively.
The information available is still limited. It is not clear which political forces will take part definitively, nor what the costs, timelines and precise functions of the new ministry or research centre would be. The manner in which the programme will be presented to voters has also not yet been made known.
The debate on artificial intelligence is very important in Italy, where discussion concerns work, public administration, schools and scientific research. The coming weeks will show whether these proposals make it into the coalition's official programme.
