The International School on AI, Technology and Law in Erice brings together international experts to examine the scientific, legal, economic, and social impacts of artificial intelligence. The program addresses governance, cybersecurity, public administration, healthcare, finance, and ethics, promoting an interdisciplinary vision grounded in scientific rigor and institutional responsibility. Artificial intelligence is emerging as a disruptive technology capable of reshaping the economy, security, geopolitics, and social models, requiring new shared global regulatory and operational strategies. In Erice, ethics is interpreted as ‘coopetition,’ while Quantum AI represents the next technological frontier, destined to transform computational capabilities and advanced applications.

An ambitious project

Bringing together all fields of knowledge, both scientific and humanistic, aims at the application of AI systems that allow in-depth learning of an infinite amount of data – Deep Learning – and the creation of neural networks – Neural Networks – that approximate human ones as closely as possible, facilitating every action.

CSAIA involves in its Scientific Committee members from numerous universities, entrepreneurs conducting research across all fields of knowledge, and public and private research institutions to provide educational training, courses, and master’s programs, and to implement programs – Machine Learning, Robotics, Natural Language Processing (NLP) – aimed at applying AI for the benefit of the community in a wide range of sectors.



Read the CSAIA Declaration of Intent – AI in the Service of the Rule of Law

CSAIA aligns us with a future that has already arrived, beyond rhetoric, and aims to unite the scientific dimension with the cultural one, as well as the academic component with the industrial and professional sectors.

01. Artificial intelligence will permeate our social life
02. It is a very delicate anthropological leap
03. It is a philosophical matter
04. It involves all areas of human knowledge: jurisprudence, philosophy, arts, labor law, medicine, engineering, physics, mathematics, cybersecurity

ENCYCLICAL LETTER

MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS

POPE LEO XIV
ON SAFEGUARDING THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Firma del Papa sulla sua prima enciclica

“La technology is not an “antagonistic force against the human person”, nor “evil in itself”. It is not neutral, because it takes on the face of those who conceive it, fund it, regulate it, and use it.”

Building for good. Remaining human.

On May 15, 2026, the 135th anniversary of Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, through which the social doctrine of the Church was founded, Pope Leo XIV signed his first encyclical,
Magnifica humanitas on the “protection of the human
person in the age of Artificial Intelligence
”.
An appeal to safeguard “a magnificent humanity inhabited by God,” promoting truth, dignity of work, social justice, and peace.

AI-TUTOR

THE DOUBLE-VALIDATION MODEL FOR CONVERSATIONS AND ADVANCED TEACHINGThe AI Tutor aims to study and measure, through conversational methods, that branch of human knowledge which artificial intelligence represents, shaping understanding with authoritative, original, and reliable content.

And who would wish to put an end to human intellects? Who would claim to have already seen and known everything that exists in the world of the sensible and of knowledge?
