Buongiorno a tutti, segnalo la conferenza ​"state of the Net" che si terrà Trieste il prossimo 29 ottobre (preview il giorno 28): http://sotn.it/ "The conference which tries to capture the state of art of the internet in Italy and in the world, considering its impact on our society. SotN is a key meeting for the italian industry and tech community, as it investigates dynamics and opportunities in the current digital scenario". La registrazione è gratuita, il tema di questa edizione sarà "Facts" (cito dal sito): *"Facts.*” will be the main theme of State of the Net 2016. While the open internet allows for the *best fact checking ever available*, many are trapped in echo chambers where lies keep bouncing around until they *sound like truth* and resonate with their beliefs. The press is under pressure and sometimes willing to trade quality and analysis for attention. All this is affecting *how we decide, vote, participate in public life*. And while people struggle with facts, machines are becoming very good at processing reality and finding new meanings: from storing “truth” in the blockchain to develop *artificial intelligence *able to interpret and predict our world and drive around town.
