A LEAP forward or something that looks like. the Roberto Cingolani , that for 14 years he directed the Italian Institute of Technology (Iit) and recently became Responsible of the technological innovation of Leonardo, announces the foundation of a series of research laboratories and the construction of a super computer in Genoa. Above all, open to the creation of a department within the former Finmeccanica, which will take care of the artificial intelligence (Ai).

“For a company like ours is essential”, he explains the same. “We could develop a set of predictive algorithms for the maintenance of our vehicles, which are quite complex, such as the analysis of the images of our satellites to get a picture of the situation in real-time. It will be a structure that, using the super computer, will operate across all the other divisions in carrying out projects advanced and long-term”.

The Leonardo in practice, led by Alessandro Profumo , the door within an essential piece that was missing before. In August of last year, e-Geos, always of the Leonardo group, had begun to use the neural networks of the california-based Orbital Insight to fathom the high-resolution images of satellites, CosmoSkyMed. The To are in fact capable of see that for us it is difficult to detect with the naked eye: by the addition to the construction of new houses, the extension and the state of the roads, up to the number of vehicles that circulate in a certain area, the industrial structures, the state of the land and crops.
