Executive Advocates Innovation Through School Partnerships, Ethical Frameworks

At the Euro-Mediterranean Festival of the Economy, Giorgio Veronesi emphasized that information technology, particularly generative artificial intelligence, is becoming a foundational competency across businesses, necessitating collaboration with educational institutions for innovation. He highlighted Snam's commitment to optimizing processes and fostering partnerships with start-ups to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, discussions around social innovation reveal its potential to drive impactful changes when paired with finance, reshaping future societal landscapes. However, there is a counterargument that ethics are essential to ensure technology serves meaningful progress, rather than becoming a chaotic force devoid of moral considerations. The challenges faced by traditional sectors, such as the energy industry, in adapting to technological advancements underscore the need for a cultural shift towards embracing innovation and collaboration with newer firms. Overall, these perspectives highlight the critical intersection of technology, ethics, and social progress in shaping a sustainable future.
