about me
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.
Interviews - 30 Years at the Forefront of Every Digital Transformation
The beginning (1986)
In 1986, I was one of 16 students worldwide to receive a Master’s in Computer Graphics from New York Tech, working on Stanford –developed machines when only two existed on the East Coast. While others saw separate technologies, my thesis predicted the marriage of computers and television – a vision that
seemed impossible then but drives everything today. For my engagement ring, I asked for an Amiga with a Video Toaster. I wasn’t just studying the future; I was living it.
The Digital Revolution (1990s-2000s)
I witnessed the birth of streaming – demonstrating the first video transmission over a 28k modem while colleagues dismissed the poor quality, not understanding it was traveling through a phone line. Real Media gave me compliments for being first to embed video in Netscape. At RAI, I built Italy’s 37th website, then spent eight years as Head of Strategy at the European Broadcasting Union, architecting partnerships with Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter when these relationships were just forming.
The Ethics Evolution (2010s-Present)
After 30+ years of shaping how technology transforms society, I saw AI emerging and knew we needed ethical frameworks. From my Rockefeller Foundation residency to my current role at the EU Commission, I’ve dedicated myself to ensuring AI development serves humanity. Now, presenting at AGI-25 and publishing with Springer, I apply four decades of being ‘in the room where it happens’ to guide the most important technological transition of our time.
