On the 5th of May 2021, David gave an outreach talk to last year’s high school students at Liceo Archimede in Messina. The talk, titled “Le macchine che imparano”, discussed the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence and provided the students with the basic tools to create their own machine learning models. Besides, aiming to bring science closer to the local community, an example of how machine learning is currently being used by researchers in Messina was explained.
