&lt;p&gt;It was an intense and productive day, bringing together international experts and young researchers to explore how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping our understanding of complex social and economic phenomena.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="key-highlights"&gt;Key Highlights&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event featured three inspiring keynote lectures:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prof. Guido Germano&lt;/strong&gt; (UCL) on computational methods for complex systems.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prof. Prabhani Kuruppumullage Don&lt;/strong&gt; (Penn State) on advanced statistical models for high-dimensional data.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. Federica Casarosa&lt;/strong&gt; (SSSA) on the legal and ethical implications of AI.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had the pleasure of co-organizing the event and participating in the discussion on &lt;strong&gt;AI for Complexity and Economic Systems&lt;/strong&gt;, where we explored the potential of agent-based modeling and network science in forecasting and policy-making.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A big thank you to all the participants, the co-organizers, and the &lt;strong&gt;Scuola Superiore Sant&amp;rsquo;Anna&lt;/strong&gt; for hosting this event. We also gratefully acknowledge the &lt;strong&gt;University of Pisa (UniPi)&lt;/strong&gt; for the grant for high-impact doctoral scientific initiatives that made this workshop possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This event represents a significant step in building an interdisciplinary bridge between AI and the social sciences.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
