digital human based on artificial intelligenceLuigi Einaudi Onlus Foundation of Turin, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo e Reply present “Liberal Thought, Current Dialogue”, a project digital human based on artificial intelligence to make economic thinking accessible to all Lugi Einaudi, one of the most relevant personalities of the XNUMXth century, through a conversation with him.
Thanks to the potential ofgenerative artificial intelligence and the most advanced technologies in the hyper-realistic 3D field, a digital human who, not only, has the physiognomy of the historical figure but, above all, is able to answer the interlocutor's questions in a manner consistent with his thoughts, overcoming every geographical, physical and generational barrier.
Digital HumanThe digital representation of Luigi Einaudi can be used from the Einaudi Foundation website, through any device. Using the keyboard or voice, anyone interested - students, specialists or simply curious people - can start a conversation on some of the most relevant themes of the economic thought of the former President of the Italian Republic: monopoly, competition, monetary and fiscal policy, market, banks, inflation, as well as his biography.
Together with Fondazione Einaudi, Reply he worked not only on the definition of the artificial intelligence model, but also to the creation of the digital human and experience design: more specifically, Machine Learning Reply specialized the conversational generative model on the thought of Luigi Einaudi, applying the proprietary framework for the training of the algorithms and the validation of the results based on MLFRAME Reply; Infinity Reply brought the digital human to life by replicating key elements of the historical character's iconic appearance and gestures, thanks to real time 3D technologies; Bitmama Reply studied the user experience, created on the Einaudi Foundation website by TamTamy Reply, and created the communication campaign which will be online and in the press in the coming months.
Fondazione EinaudiOne of the most challenging aspects of the project was ensuring consistency with Luigi Einaudi's original thinking, and the solution was the development of a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model digital human trained specifically on his thinking. The Einaudi Foundation, with the support of Paolo Soddu, professor of contemporary history and secretary of the National Edition of Luigi Einaudi's writings, conducted research on the topics most representative of Einaudi as an economist and selected the texts to be used in the generative AI model: a corpus currently composed of 250.000 words extracted from original volumes and collections available in digital version.
The careful work of building the knowledge base, training the model of Generative AI and qualitative validation of the answers, carried out according to the Reply methodology, today allows for a realistic conversation between the interlocutor and the digital representation of Luigi Einaudi: digital human not only does it answer specific questions on topics present in oral and written production, but it offers the possibility of generating feedback on the answers provided, making the interaction bidirectional.
"Liberal Thought, Current Dialogue” is part of a broader program of the Einaudi Foundation, which began in 2021 with the digitization of its historical archive and aimed at enhancing the precious historical-cultural heritage contained in the library, making knowledge increasingly accessible to future generations. The organization is aware that a heritage with open borders and the expansion of forms of use, accompanied by the multiplication of the use of resources linked to the heritage itself, will only favor the widest possible access.
The Luigi Einaudi Foundation is closely intertwined with the memory of the economist President of the Republic, to the extent that his intellectual elaboration, the materials collected during a long period of work - starting with the precious library and personal archive - and the grants study he allocated in 1959, were the basic elements around which the institution was built. The nature of the Foundation was from its origins the intertwining of its multiple activities: conservation of cultural heritage, promotion of research, place of training and stimulation of cultural debate on a national and city level.
Particular care is dedicated to the conservation and enhancement of the archival and book heritage, which has grown over the decades on the basis of Luigi Einaudi's donation and in making this heritage available to the public. Over the years its library has continued to grow, through purchases and donations, until it now has over 270.000 volumes. Likewise, the research was supported with the provision of over 1.200 scholarships intended for young scholars. Since 2021, it has begun a journey in the acquisition of skills and services in order to develop a digital transition path that affects the assets owned in order to disseminate them more widely.
Since 1563 we have been working for the common good, with people at the center of our action. The well-being of each individual depends on and contributes to that of the community; this is why we work on the dimensions that affect individuals as well as society: the economy, the social, the culture and the environment. We believe in subsidiarity, in dialogue as a method, in philanthropy that activates ideas and projects. Human development and sustainability: the United Nations 2030 Agenda has launched an important challenge, indicating the Sustainable Development Goals to which everyone must contribute, in a collective effort. We have taken up this challenge and organized ourselves to align ourselves and work even more effectively on a local, European and international level. We study, think about projects, experiment, evaluate and encourage replicability, networking with institutions, our instrumental bodies and all expressions of society.
We organize our commitment around three Objectives: Culture, People and Planet. To ensure maximum impact we have identified fourteen Missions, each of which contributes to achieving one of the three Objectives. All this is made possible by the existence of our heritage, which we are committed to preserving and growing for future generations. This is our commitment, for the common good and for everyone's future.
