Rita Cucchiara is a professor in Computer Vision at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where she is also the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Research and Innovation Center (AIRI).

The national one is that I’m now writing the Italian Strategy on AI. I did the same with the past government, Draghi, and I did the same also with the other government.
