Prof. Raffaella Folgieri, Chief Scientific Officer of P&S Legal, is among the authors of the new digital monograph by Il Sole 24 Ore Professionale: "Artificial intelligence: models, infrastructures, applications and risks".

The work analyses artificial intelligence from a multidisciplinary perspective, addressing models, infrastructures, applications, cybersecurity, emerging risks and regulatory profiles.

Prof. Folgieri's contribution is dedicated to the development of a framework for the Data Protection Impact Assessment, an increasingly relevant topic for companies and organisations adopting AI systems.

Prof. Folgieri's presence in the publication confirms P&S Legal's positioning on the themes of innovation governance, artificial intelligence and technoscientific complexity.

P&S LEGAL held a training seminar and roundtable "Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare" dedicated to physicians, healthcare managers and professionals in the Veneto healthcare sector.

Great participation from healthcare professionals who filled the room and contributed with specific questions and real cases.

Critical topics for healthcare sector operators were addressed:

• AI Act and Law 132/2025: immediate impacts for deployers, providers and healthcare professionals.
• Obligations and responsibilities: governance, impact assessments, contracts and audits.
• Step-by-step compliance: mapping use cases, risk classification, clinical policies, training.
• AI literacy: the AI we use every day... often without realizing it.
• Live Q&A with questions on triage, assisted reporting and decision support tools.

We are pleased to announce that P&S Legal is a partner of the event "Smart City | Privacy & Compliance" with Dahua Technology Co. LTD, Dahua Technology Italy and Fin Technologies.
