The Italian Embassy in Madrid organised a Made in Italy challenge inspired by the famous chess game between Kasparov and IBM's "Deep Blue" supercomputer. Six testimonials from different sectors - agrifood, technology, design and interior design, cultural and creative industries, tourism, fashion - both Italian and Spanish, took part in a challenge against computers equipped with AI. The initiative was promoted by the Embassy together with the ITA Madrid Office, in collaboration with the Forbes España magazine, which published a special supplement entirely dedicated to Italy and Made in Italy in April.
The testimonials from the Italian Embassy in Madrid who joined the Made in Italy challenge against AI (Gemini and Chatgpt) were the following:
The event, which according to data provided by Forbes was watched live by 6,477 people, was presented by renowned Telecinco journalist Laila Jiménez, who set the pace for the intellectual duels that ensued during the meeting.
In his opening speech, Ambassador Giuseppe Buccino Grimaldi pointed out that a challenge between human beings and AI is "an original, innovative way of promoting Made in Italy, addressing a topic - that of AI - that is highly topical and interesting for its social and legal implications, on which the Italian G7 Presidency is also working."
