CyberEthics Lab. took part in the 10th STS Italia Conference – Technoscience for Good: Designing, Caring, and Reconfiguring, held at Politecnico di Milano from June 11–13, 2025. The core question of this year’s edition was: what does it mean to do technoscience for good – and for whom?

Over the course of three days, the team contributed to the international debate on how to design and govern emerging technologies in ways that align with fundamental rights, European values, and the public good.

One contribution featured the work of Lorena Volpini within the COMFORTage project. The presentation focused on ethics-by-design approaches in AI for dementia care and prevention, exploring issues of digital health, active ageing, and social impact.

Another talk presented research by Luca Mattei as part of the PRESERVE project, addressing the ethical and regulatory challenges of drone deployment in public spaces for safety purposes.

An important opportunity to share insights on how to shape technological futures that are just, inclusive, and sustainable.
