MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “We can become the factory of advanced robotics in Europe and in the West”. The Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, declares this in an interview with the daily newspaper Il giorno released after his visit to the company brianzola Oversonic. On the country’s industrial perspective, Urso points out that ” robotics is one of the excellences that can allow us to play a leading role in the world-wide sector”. Recalling that Italy already appears with Germany among the main producers, the minister indicates that “the leap is the application of AI to the lines: artificial physical intelligence, innovative robotics, androids and humanoids”, technologies that must serve to “liberate man from labor”. Applications include exoskeletals for those who suffered an injury and the use of machines in risky activities identified by Inail, convinced that “technology can really help reduce risks.” Addressing the impact on employment, Mimit’s owner points out that artificial intelligence applied to production processes could eliminate 91 million jobs in the world by 2030, but create 171 million more qualified, creative and human, with a positive balance of 80 million.
“The real question is where will these opportunities arise: in Europe or in China? Will we be a market or a factory? ”, Urso notes, remarking that “Italy can say a lot, because it is already ahead in robotics and can be in artificial physical intelligence”. On the issue of security and co-existence with androids in workplaces and care, the minister calls for clear rules: “They serve rules and certifications” and “need a ‘patent’ that fully guarantees the safety of man, who must remain at the centre of the production process. Innovation must maintain an anthropocentric vision.” In the strategic semiconductor sector, Urso announces that “the new Stm plan puts 10 billion euros of investments in the country and aims to rebalance the relationship with France”. The minister points out that “finally there will be room also for Agrate, next to Catania” and states that the multiannual project will be illustrated at the ministerial table of 30 November, then to be discussed with the workers in Sicily and Brianza. Finally, on the concept of energy costs for enterprises, the minister defines the cost of the bill “a handicap for our production system” and traces the line: “We must return to a competitive mix, combining today’s renewables with the next generation nuclear: from small modular reactors to the fourth generation, to fusion”, to “strengthen strategic autonomy and reduce exposure to foreign markets”.
