The Senate of the Republic and Fastweb, now Fastweb+Vodafone, have signed a collaboration agreement with the aim of supporting the development of generative artificial intelligence systems in Italy. As part of the agreement, Fastweb will use public documents, such as reports, dossiers, publications for the Italian Artificial Intelligence Model (MIIA), a national linguistic model that uses the computing power of the company's supercomputer launched in July last year.
Thanks to transparent governance and the use of quality Italian data, in full compliance with current national and European regulations on privacy and copyright, the documents will contribute to fueling MIIA by paving the way for the development and introduction of tools based on generative artificial intelligence to enhance research, consultation and production of new material.
The agreement with Fastweb represents the first case of implementation of the Senate's decision to support initiatives for the development of Italian linguistic models and acquire additional skills to best utilize the innovative applications that will be made available.
Walter Renna, CEO, Fastweb+Vodafone
The collaboration initiated with the Senate of the Republic is particularly important because we will have an additional source of valuable data available to train our linguistic model and develop new applications to support the country's institutions. The agreements and collaborations with research institutions, universities, public and private entities aimed at exchanging quality data are in fact an essential element to guarantee companies and especially public administrations at all times the security and control of sensitive data as well as the high reliability of the services offered.
