I do many activities involving school and my community like soccer, HFC, student council, and volunteer work. In my free time, I like to read and write plus little hobbies such as crocheting and painting. But I would love to talk about things that have more of an impact on my and my peers' lives.In my speech, I want to share my experiences of bullying and how labeling affects society. My biggest inspiration for my talk is about one of my friends who sadly passed away due to the hardships of bullying during his life. I will talk about him and how single words that seem like nothing can alter a person's whole life. This is what I want to change, I want to talk about ways we can break those labels that restrict us from being us. So, I'm super excited to share lots more with you on April 3rd, 2025!

Come il fluire perenne delle acque sacre del Bagno Grande, così vi è un continuum, ciclico, dell’uso che da millenni viene fatto di esse. L’archeologia, la storia, le meravigliose architetture sovrapposte attraverso i secoli, restano, in realtà, sullo sfondo di un contesto che è prima di tutto cura e cura declinata in ogni aspetto dell’umano e del divino, del corpo e dell’anima. Cura che si fa di nuovo rito e pratica ai giorni nostri, nello scoprire chi e cosa ci ha preceduto in questo luogo e perché il messaggio che essi hanno lasciato alle acque è così attuale e importante anche per noi. Con una laurea in lettere classiche e un PhD in Archeologia delle Province Romane, da oltre venti anni si occupa di ricerche archeologiche nel Mediterraneo Romano e in Medio Oriente. Esperto di topografia e nuove tecnologie applicate all'archeologia, archeologo professionista, dal 2019 dirige lo scavo archeologico a San Casciano dei Bagni per conto dello stesso Comune e ora con l'Università per Stranieri di Siena.

Geoffrey Hinton, premio Nobel 2024 per la Fisica per gli studi sulle reti neurali artificiali, teme che lo sviluppo dell’IA porti “a sistemi più intelligenti di noi, che alla fine prenderanno il controllo”. Preoccupazioni simili sono state espresse da altre autorità nel settore, da Gates a Hassabis. Altri esperti ribattono che l’AI non sarà mai un problema di per sé, ma solo per i cattivi usi che possiamo farne noi, perché non sarà mai in grado di comprendere ciò che fa: insomma nessuna macchina sarà mai veramente intelligente. Chi ha ragione? Professore ordinario di Filosofia morale a Roma Tre e Visiting professor alla Tufts University di Boston. Già Fulbright fellow a Harvard, Visiting scholar al MIT e presidente della Società Italiana di Filosofia Analitica, è presidente della Società Italiana di Filosofia Morale, esecutore letterario di Hilary Putnam, membro del direttivo della International Federation of Philosophical Societies e Associate editor del Journal of the American Philosophical Association. È autore di numerosi libri di successo sul tema dell’etica e del libero arbitrio.Si occupa di filosofia morale, metafisica, filosofia del cinema, etica dell’AI e storia della filosofia della prima età moderna.
