Module 2

As part of the Buth-AI project, participants had the opportunity to explore a number of topics related to the practical applications of artificial intelligence.

In particular, the aspects of personal data protection were addressed, with specific reference to the implications that AI systems entail for the protection of personal data, for their use and for their protection, of ethics, which governs, or should govern, all phases of the use of AI, from the design of the algorithms to the use of the output generated by them, both with reference to the translation sector, where artificial intelligence could represent a ‘threat’ to the activity of the professional translator.

During the course, a game called the Buth-AI game was created with the specific aim of introducing young people to the conscious use of artificial intelligence systems.

The game, through a series of questions, leads the player on a path towards becoming aware of the mechanisms, principles and criticalities connected to artificial intelligence systems, so that the use of these tools is not only a passive and automatic use, but a reasoned and conscious one, both of the risks and of the opportunities that AI offers to all users. 

Why a game made by young people, for young people?

We used the subject knowledge provided by the experts who took turns in the theoretical lessons to apply them to the practical needs and requirements of the young people participating in the project. This synergy allowed us to create a game that, although it deals with a complex subject, provides concrete indications, using simple language that can be used by everyone.

Pathway of Excellence ‘The use of AI and the practical implications of data protection, IT security and ethical principles’ A.Y. 2025-2026

For the academic year 2025-2026, the Link Campus University will once again host the Pathway of Excellence ‘The use of AI and the practical implications of data protection, cybersecurity and ethical principles’ as part of the degree course in Innovative Technologies for Digital Communication – Innovative technologies for digital communication (L-20), and part of the Buth-AI project, Building Trust in Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence – project number: 101127627. 

In its third year, the course will address the practical aspects of Artificial Intelligence, investigating its applications in various sectors, from public administration to banking, from art to the apps we download and use on our devices, from healthcare to the management and protection of personal data.

Course participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a practical workshop in which they will carry out a project on the governance of artificial intelligence.

As in previous years, the course will feature lectures by leading national experts, professionals who participated in the last edition, and newcomers who will enrich the skills offered to participants with their experience.

Classes will begin in mid-February 2026 and will be held on Fridays. Attendance is free and open to all. Further information about the classes and the final programme will be published on the Buth-AI project website and on the DiTES research centre website.

Applications must be sent to dites.progetti@unilink.it with a copy to f.destefani@unilink.it and s.capogna@unilink.it, using the form available for download at this link by 6 February 2026.
