Artificial Intelligence and Leonardo da Vinci

How is it possible that Leonardo da Vinci is a forerunner of Artificial Intelligence, if in the Renaissance there were no computers at all?

On May 7th Massimo Paltrinieri, expert in strategic consulting in Digital Transformation, accompanied us on a fascinating journey to discover the scientific path of Leonardo da Vinci and his countless inventions, pioneering the disciplines of artificial intelligence that today are an integral part of our everyday.Among experiments in robotics, vision and machine learning, Paltrinieri's conference illustrates how, already in the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci began experimenting with many techniques, providing for 2-3 centuries of scientific and engineering innovation.

The meeting is part of the cycle started by Massimo Paltrinieri last fall at the Leonardo da Vinci Society of San Francisco, also taken up this year by the Sole 24 Ore.

Massimo Paltrinieri published his first international research article on Artificial Intelligence in 1990, followed by several other publications published by the American Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), American Association for Computer Machinery (ACM), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), National Agency for Space and Aerospace (NASA), International Journal of Expert Systems and Springer Verlag.

His research at Stanford University and the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris focused on heuristic algorithms for complex combinatorial problems.

Author of technology patents (US and EU), reviewer of international journals, former strategic consultant for a leading US company, as well as former Group Chief Information Officer for multinational groups, Massimo Paltrinieri today acts as an independent consultant on the digital transformation of global market leaders and regularly attends international conferences and events (Singapore, Milan, San Francisco, Sole24Ore).
