Interviews - 30 Years at the Forefront of Every Digital Transformation

The beginning (1986)

In 1986, I was one of 16 students worldwide to receive a Master’s in Computer Graphics from New York Tech, working on Stanford –developed machines when only two existed on the East Coast. While others saw separate technologies, my thesis predicted the marriage of computers and television – a vision that
seemed impossible then but drives everything today. For my engagement ring, I asked for an Amiga with a Video Toaster. I wasn’t just studying the future; I was living it.

The Digital Revolution (1990s-2000s)

I witnessed the birth of streaming – demonstrating the first video transmission over a 28k modem while colleagues dismissed the poor quality, not understanding it was traveling through a phone line. Real Media gave me compliments for being first to embed video in Netscape. At RAI, I built Italy’s 37th website, then spent eight years as Head of Strategy at the European Broadcasting Union, architecting partnerships with Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter when these relationships were just forming.

The Ethics Evolution (2010s-Present)

After 30+ years of shaping how technology transforms society, I saw AI emerging and knew we needed ethical frameworks. From my Rockefeller Foundation residency to my current role at the EU Commission, I’ve dedicated myself to ensuring AI development serves humanity. Now, presenting at AGI-25 and publishing with Springer, I apply four decades of being ‘in the room where it happens’ to guide the most important technological transition of our time.
