Can large language models help designers move faster without sacrificing human centrality?  Researchers from CNR–ISTI and University College Dublin are exploring how large language models can support the rapid creation and refinement of industrial graphical user interfaces through a case study involving the Italian railway operator Trenord, helping development teams move more quickly from textual requirements to interactive mockups, while keeping humans at the centre of the design process.

While the concepts of data sharing and data reuse are simple in theory, they face a plethora of challenges and obstacles when transferred into real-life applications. In this article we discuss the major challenges encountered in the successful construction of a sharing infrastructure for oncological data, as well as best practices and learnings in order to overcome similar issues.

European electricity networks are becoming increasingly complex as renewable energy sources, electrification and cross-border interconnections continue to grow. The AI.Grids initiative brings together 48 European organizations to develop open, trustworthy and sovereign AI models and data foundations tailored to the needs of Europe’s critical energy infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how scientific research is conceived, executed and interpreted, from analysing massive astrophysical data streams to accelerating drug discovery and improving climate and environmental modelling. Yet, the European landscape of AI enabled research remains fragmented: scientific communities, AI experts and research infrastructures often work in parallel rather than together, and strategic guidance on where to invest and how to coordinate efforts is still emerging. The SCIANCE project was launched to address this fragmentation and to help Europe turn AI into a coherent, shared engine for scientific discovery.
