Inclusive and Sustainable AI: A non negotiable option for an inclusive and sustainable future for humanity.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As digital technologies increasingly shape the fabric of education and workplaces, two critical priorities are emerging: inclusion and sustainability. This panel brings them into focus, exploring how Artificial Intelligence can be harnessed to create more equitable learning and working settings\u2014while also confronting the environmental impact of our digital choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inclusion today means more than access\u2014it requires actively designing learning experiences that respect and adapt to students\u2019 diverse needs. From AI-powered immersive readers to intelligent chatbots that simplify texts and explain complex terms, educators now have powerful tools to support students with learning differences, language barriers, or disabilities. Biagio will explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles can be supported through AI to offer flexible, engaging, and personalized education. Real-world classroom practices\u2014from peer-tutoring via class blogs to tools like Padlet that digitize handwriting\u2014demonstrate how inclusive design can transform both teaching and classroom dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n

But just as we push for digital equity in the classroom, we must also grapple with the broader ethical and environmental costs of the technologies we adopt. AI\u2019s rapid evolution has sparked widespread attention, prompting institutions and industries alike to evaluate not only its technical capabilities but also its sustainability. As concerns grow around AI\u2019s social and ecological footprint, understanding its real-world implications becomes essential. To ground this discussion, Laura will share findings from a recent study on Italian companies, examining how organizations are balancing innovation with responsibility. The research explores governance models, maturity levels, risks, and opportunities related to the social and environmental dimensions of AI, offering a preview of the emerging trajectories in sustainable AI development.<\/span><\/p>\n

This panel is for anyone interested in the future of AI at the intersection of technology, education, and sustainability. Join us to explore how AI can be part of the solution in transforming how we work, live, and think.<\/span><\/p>\n
