The rapid spread and evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is outlining a new scenario that calls for necessary interdisciplinary reflections to ensure the reliability required of new AI technologies and prevent harm arising from their use. In this context, the session analytically examines AI development, assessing its risks with reflections de iure condito and de iure condendo for effective legal and technical regulation. Its aim is to overcome uncertainties and issues related to new AI technologies by applying a transversal and holistic approach that highlights the positive features of artificial intelligences, enabling them not only to guarantee the necessary technical reliability but to be trusthworthy overall.

It is indeed necessary for AI technologies to adopt an anthropocentric and biocentric perspective, ensuring respect for the fundamental rights guaranteed to human beings and other living entities. To this end, the session's focus is on measurement techniques—both preventive to AI development and contextual or subsequent to commercialization—to evaluate and monitor its performance, thereby verifying its concrete impact on human beings and living beings in general. This is a topic involving numerous stakeholders due to both the breadth of sectors affected by AI and the voluntary and mandatory regulations (AI Act) that require the involvement of certification and accreditation bodies for complete conformity and compliance assessment.

The investigation's focus is to identify parameters, indicators, methods, and measurement techniques (including semi-automatic ones) that concretely enable the definition and quantification of the risk of impact of AI systems across different fields of application, in conformity with international and European regulations on the matter. This starts from the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law, the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act, and international standards, also considering technical regulations and their updates useful for integrating legal provisions.
