    AI and the reduction of social inequalities in a linguistic perspective
    (INCE, ASEM, 2024) Santorelli, Marion; Catullo, Domenico; Palladino, Marilena
    Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to both exacerbate and alleviate social inequalities. In this paper, we investigate AI’s impact from a linguistic perspective, focusing on economic disparities, resource allocation, and ethical considerations. Actuality: We examine the current state of AI adoption and its implications for social equity. Recent developments, trends, and challenges related to AI’s influence on linguistic and social disparities are highlighted. Purpose: Our research aims to investigate how AI can contribute to reducing inequalities. Specifically, we consider linguistic aspects, such as language bias in AI algorithms, alongside broader societal implications. Research Methods:Our methodology involves a comprehensive literature review. We analyse existing studies, case examples, and empirical evidence related to AI’s impact on social inequalities. Results: Preliminary findings suggest that responsible AI design can bridge gaps and dismantle biases. By prioritizing fairness, transparency, and ethical development, we can harness AI’s power to create a more equitable society across linguistic boundaries.In summary, this paper advocates for vigilance and empathy in embracing transformative AI technologies to address social disparities.

    Enhancing active ageing through language learning and digitalisation in the longevity society
    (INCE, ASEM, 2024) Palladino, Marilena; Santorelli, Marion; Catullo, Domenico; Catullo, Daniele
    This paper explores how language and digitalization impact older adults’ well-being. Collaboration - across linguists, psychologists, and technologists- is key to creating inclusive digital experiences. Actuality: Social change is a dynamic process intertwined with innovations and demographics. The impact of demographic evolution on economies and competitiveness presents intriguing challenges. This paper focuses on the actions to ensure inclusion and wellbeing for older individuals. Purpose: The research aims to demonstrate that studying a foreign language enables the promotion of active ageing. Specifically, we explore how learning a language can enhance cognitive performance, well-being, inclusion, and the reduction of social inequalities. Research Methods: Based on field analysis and experience in teaching across different age groups, the results highlight the convergence of language and digitalization within the context of older adults’ wellbeing. Specifically, we explore how linguistic changes occur as individuals age and how digital tools intersect with communication patterns. Results: Language acquisition emerges as a powerful tool for promoting social inclusion in the longevity society. Additionally, technology assistance through language learning apps will make it easier for seniors to build vocabulary, improve grammar, and achieve fluency. Our findings enable the planning of targeted didactics and the creation of basic-level teaching materials tailored to the needs and characteristics of identified subjects.
