about me

Nicoletta_like_Picasso

With over 30 years of experience at the forefront of technology strategy and media innovation, I’ve dedicated my career to exploring the intricate relationship between technology, society, and human potential. My journey began in 1992 at RAI Corporation, where I spent 14 transformative years pioneering interactive television and digital broadcasting. This foundational experience laid the groundwork for my subsequent role as Head of Strategy & Future Media at the European Broadcasting Union (2006-2014). There, I had the privilege of shaping the digital transformation of European public service media and forging strategic partnerships with emerging giants like Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and TED during their formative years.

My academic background, including a PhD Summa cum Laude in Philosophy of Communication and an executive program at Singularity University, has always informed my practical work, providing a strong theoretical framework for understanding the profound societal impact of technological advancements. In 2018, I was honored to be a Rockefeller Foundation Resident at the Bellagio Center, a pivotal experience that further fueled my commitment to ethical considerations in technology.

Today, my focus has shifted to the critical field of AI ethics leadership. I am applying my decades of experience in technology strategy to guide the responsible and ethical development of artificial intelligence. Since 2023, I’ve served as an Ethics & Integrity Expert for the European Commission, actively contributing to the regulatory and ethical frameworks shaping the future of AI. My recent work includes being selected as a presenter at AGI-25, the world’s premier AGI conference, where I’ll be discussing “Fertility: The Missing Code for AGI.”

I am the author of several pioneering works that explore the intersection of ethics and technology, including “Exponential Ethics” (2018), “Ethics is Female” (2022), and “The Ethics of Example” (2024). Beyond my writing, I am the Founder & Director of CUBEplus – L’Atelier des Idées Fertiles, based in Nice, France, where I continue to cultivate innovative ideas and promote ethical dialogue in the digital age.

mission and vision

I believe AI development is fundamentally about education—we’re raising an intelligence, not just building tools. My commitment is making AI ethics accessible through a Robin Hood approach: premium corporate work funds women’s empowerment programs, ensuring the future of AI includes everyone.
