I am an AI professor and Digital Humanism scholar working at the intersection of technology, culture, and ethics. My mission is to build bridges between code and society, helping institutions design systems that advance human dignity, agency, and accountability.
Across research, teaching, and public engagement, I explore how we can steer AI toward responsible innovation while cultivating the human skills our future demands: judgment, creativity, and care.
Franco Bagaglia
I am a University Professor of Artificial Intelligence and a Digital Humanist by vocation. I deeply believe that technology, when guided by humanistic ethics, can become an extraordinary tool to democratize knowledge and support lifelong learning.
In recent years, I have specialized in AI with a clear goal: to help students and professionals consciously face the ongoing scientific revolution.
For me, AI literacy is not just a technical skill: it is a cultural act, a path of growth and critical awareness. I believe that integrating AI into educational paths can strengthen language learning and offer valuable tools to understand the social dynamics of our time.
My mission is to form free minds, curious and capable of inhabiting the digital world with responsibility.
