[edit]Pre-conference at the Social science library, via della Pandette 2: Bottega della scienza – open access (in Italian)
Oggi, anche alla luce dell’innovazione dell’IA, l’interesse sui dati è diventato centrale e quindi si rende sempre più necessaria una divulgazione corretta della cultura del dato, per diffondere un uso consapevole. A partire da questa premessa, ci piacerebbe un’interazione con i cittadini e quindi saremmo contenti di ricevere alcune domande su questo tema, nel tentativo di soddisfare delle curiosità e fornire risposte il più possibile accurate. Il 4 di giugno , dalle 16 alle 19, alla Biblioteca di scienze sociali cercheremo di dare risposta a questi ai quesiti posti attraverso giochi e attività di confronto sui dati e con esperti di questa materia. L'iniziativa è rivolta a tutta la comunità accademica e alla cittadinanza.
