Story details
A Legacoop report published from Milan on 10 October summarized a Biennale dell’Economia Cooperativa discussion involving economist Philippe Aghion and Romano Prodi. It said participants addressed wider use of artificial intelligence in production, including agriculture and machinery, and contrasted Europe’s scientific publication activity with a lag in commercialization. The article presents this as the speakers’ assessment, not as a measured comparison dataset.
The report says Aghion argued for greater European computing capacity for AI, venture and institutional capital, and training and support for workers moving between roles. It also describes cooperatives as a possible way to reorganize businesses while retaining skills. These are proposals discussed at an industry forum: the release does not announce a funded computing project, investment amount, implementation timetable or measured employment outcome.
