The AI Ethics Officer: Methods and Practices for Training and Standardization of Experts

Carnevale’s contributions to the domain of AI Ethics have been documented in esteemed academic publications such as ＂Alienation and Recognition - The Δ Phenomenology of Human-Social Robot Interactions＂ (Bisconti & Carnevale, 2022) and ＂Will robots know us better than we know ourselves?＂ (Carnevale, 2016), which have provided insightful perspectives on the complex dynamics of human-robot interactions. Transitioning from robotics, his recent focus has shifted towards exploring the ethics surrounding machines, algorithms, and AI. Noteworthy contributions in this area include the development of methodologies such as SAT (Occhipinti et al., 2023) for assessing the social acceptance of innovative AI-based technologies and critical analyses on topics like gender dimensions in big data and personalised medicine (Carnevale et al., 2021). Beyond academia, his expertise extends into consultancy and advocacy realms, bridging theory and practice in a rare and impactful manner. He has served as an expert evaluator for prestigious initiatives like HORIZON-MSCA-2023 and as a national expert for the European standardisation agency CEN-CENELEC. Additionally, he has contributed to influential studies on privacy and 5G technology funded by the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) of the EU Parliament.
