3FOMLIG: Ethics and intelligences for a geotechnical Renaissance
Unprecedented capabilities in data acquisition and processing, inspirational paradigms and knowledge emerging from scientific research, and a new, multi-faceted global awareness about the importance of networking and sustainability are changing the world at a very fast pace.
Within this exciting context, artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly employed in the pursuit of resilient, ethical management of human communities and of the natural environment. As in many other technical and non-technical disciplines, they demonstrate their suitability and potential in geotechnical engineering by enhancing analysis, data processing, and design through their capability of addressing complexity.
The Third Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics will focus on how current and forthcoming synergies between human and artificial intelligences will foster geotechnical research, practice, and education, and how human conscience and ethics can best nurture this partnership through new paradigms, cultural perceptions, and regulations.
We are happy to welcome students, practitioners, and researchers from both within and outside the geotechnical discipline to Florence, a city celebrated worldwide as “the capital of the Renaissance” for its artistic and cultural heritage and its role of leadership in a historical period of profound reawakening. A city perfectly suited to host discussions regarding the next steps in geotechnical intelligence because what today is an incomparable artistic heritage is the long-standing result of a virtuous network of bold entrepreneurial and technical thinking, innovative engineering and artistic technologies, and forward-looking international relations.
