Various educational programs in Italy have launched to address the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. In Piacenza, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore is beginning its 26th Cives training course, titled ‘Intelligenza cercasi’. This program seeks to examine AI through historical and technical lenses, focusing on the relationship between automation, power, and human rights.

Simultaneously, the ‘Cicerone Oggi’ project has been implemented across secondary schools in the Campania region. This initiative integrates classical thought with digital literacy, encouraging students to use AI tools for critical analysis rather than simple automation. The project utilizes writing contests and debates to explore themes of democracy, law, and citizenship, aiming to meet ministerial directives regarding digital security and transparency.
