[…] Our study reveals that Italy lags behind in terms of know-how on artificial intelligence; indeed, 63% of entrepreneurs admits that GenAI skills are still not widespread. This issue is clearly evident in the lack of courses and talent on the labour market. Italy currently ranks seventh in Europe in terms of degree programmes dedicated to AI, and Europe lags behind the United States and the United Kingdom, too.”
Here is an interview by Giulia Cimpanelli with the CEO of Microsoft Italia, Vincenzo Esposito, published yesterday on Italian Tech, a supplement to daily La Repubblica.
Vincenzo Esposito comments on the data analysed in the “AI 4 Italy: From Theory to Practice – Towards an Industrial Policy for GenAI in Italy,” published by the TEHA Group in collaboration with Microsoft Italia, and presents the first results achieved by the global AI L.A.B. initiative and Project Ital.IA Lab, developed with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS.
