Artificial intelligence and robotics, cybersecurity and mental health, technological sovereignty, and the future of work and education: from the Innovation Hub at Rome Fiumicino Airport, Riccardo Luna tells the stories of the people and ideas shaping the future.
The new season of our podcast, «Fly Me to the Moon – Futuri in arrivo», hosted by journalist Riccardo Luna, is officially live, focusing on the people, technologies and ideas that are already changing the way we live and imagine the future.
Produced by MoST, the new season broadens its perspective to explore some of the most significant transformations of our time: from artificial intelligence to robotics, from cybersecurity to mental health, and from technological sovereignty to the future of work and education. Once again, the focus is not only on technology, but above all on the people who are designing, studying and using it to address the challenges of the present.
«The future is not something that simply arrives: it is something we can choose and help shape,» explains Riccardo Luna. «In this second season, we met people who are already working on some of the most profound changes in our society. From mental health to humanoid robots, from AI to cybersecurity, these are different stories, but they are united by the same question: how do we want to live in the future we are building?»
The nine episodes, recorded at the Innovation Hub at Rome Fiumicino Airport, the first startup accelerator in Europe located at the heart of an airport, explore some of the most important topics shaping today’s debate. Silvia Wang, co-founder of Serenis, discusses the relationship between psychotherapy, younger generations and artificial intelligence; researcher and entrepreneur Daniele Pucci takes humanoid robotics from research to industry and reflects on the European challenge; Giorgio Metta, Scientific Director of the Italian Institute of Technology, imagines the world of 2100 through robotics, medicine, AI and the transformation of work.
The season also explores technological sovereignty and cybersecurity with entrepreneur Gianni Cuozzo, and the relationship between technology, business and humanism with Andrea Pezzi. Enrica Porcari, the first Chief Information Officer at CERN, reflects on the future of AI, knowledge sharing and the role of humanities skills in innovation. Francesca Cavallo, author of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, shifts the focus to the education of boys and the development of identity in the age of social media and algorithms. The guests also include Andrea Colamedici, who starts from a surprising publishing experiment created with AI to explore the shift from post-truth to post-reality.
With its second season, «Fly Me to the Moon» continues its journey through the futures ahead, bringing science, technology, business and culture into dialogue and, through personal stories and original perspectives, seeking to turn innovation from a topic for specialists into a conversation that concerns us all.
