Gabriele Graffieti – Head of AI Research
Gabriele Graffieti is a PhD student in Data Science and Computation at the University of Bologna. His main interests are generative models, continual learning and bio-inspired learning models. In particular, he investigate the role of data generation ability during learning and the correlation between memory and the capacity to generate and think of new data. He is also fascinated by artificial creativity and computer generated art.
Moreover, he is interested in the philosophy and ethics of artificial intelligence, especially in frameworks that aims to counteract its future risks and problems.
Matteo Fabbri – Head of AI Policy
Matteo Fabbri is a Philosophy student at University of Bologna. His interests lie in the intersection between artificial intelligence and political theory. In particular, he aims at understanding how computational social science could help the improvement of public policy formulation. He has recently started studying the ethical formalization of autonomous vehicles and the newly emerging conceptual paradigms of algorithmic fairness. Moreover, he is deeply concerned about the application of meritocracy in the Italian public sector, particularly in the educational field.
Philipp Wicke – Head of AI Applications
Philipp Wicke is a researcher at the University College Dublin. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Language Systems Group. His background in Cognitive Science fuels his research interest in Computational Creativity, Embodied Cognition and Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, he is interested in explainable AI that can be utilized for the societal good. In the AI for People association, he is writing blog articles and practical research contributions.
