14:30/17:30 CYBERCREATIVITY: THE ULTIMATE SKILL FOR ECO-SUSTAINABLE STARTUPS - Prof. Giovanni Emanuele Corazza

The historical era we are living in is unique. We are amid the disruption caused by the exponential emergence of Generative AI in society, which urgently requires a radical transformation towards eco-sustainability. This dual revolution is impacting all segments of productive activities, particularly those of a more intellectual nature than physical, significantly reducing the time constants of processes. Generating creative ideas to launch green businesses focused on environmental sustainability has become a collaboration between humans and machines: cybercreativity. The demand is extremely urgent: those who do not immediately catch up with these innovations risk exclusion from opportunities. Cybercreativity will be the essential skill to adapt to this new scenario.
