Unipi CTF: Cybersecurity challenge at the University of Pisa<\/h2>
<\/p>\n

On December 6, the \u201cUnipi CTF\u201d<\/strong> has taken place \u2014 a cybersecurity competition for high-school and university students (in room PN10 at the Polo Porta Nuova, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m).<\/p>\n

Cryptography, web security, low-level challenges, and reverse engineering: participants will tackle a series of tasks to score as many points as possible. In the end, the top three teams will reach the podium and receive a prize.<\/p>\n

The event is organized by fibonhack<\/strong>, a group of students, researchers, and cybersecurity professionals, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science<\/a> and the Google Developer Group di Pisa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EU AI Office Names Dino Pedreschi Vice-Chair of Working Group 1 for AI Act Code of Practice<\/h2>
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On 5 November, the European Commission\u2019s AI Office began drafting the Code of Practice on marking and labelling of AI-generated content<\/a>, as provided for in Article 50 of the AI Act.
\nOver seven months, two working groups comprising experts in technology, law and society will define a framework to prevent deception and manipulation related to synthetic content and strengthen public trust.
\nProfessor Dino Pedreschi<\/strong> has been appointed by the AI Office as vice-chair of Working Group 1: Transparency obligations applicable to providers of generative AI systems<\/strong>, tasked with developing guidelines on the transparency and recognisability of content generated by generative artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Looking for a smart way to use Artificial Intelligence in teaching<\/h2>
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Antonio Cisternino<\/strong>, our professor and president of the Information System at the University of Pisa, is the only Italian among the 300 professors chosen by OpenAI Academy, a free educational platform launched by OpenAI to facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence in various sectors.<\/p>\n

OpenAI has just published a video in which Cisternino talks about how he successfully used ChatGPT in the ICT Infrastructure course of the Master’s Degree in Computer Science.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/academy.openai.com\/public\/videos\/antonio-cisternino-ict-infrastructures-and-advanced-programming-2025-08-21<\/a><\/p>\n

The excellent feedback prompted the lecturer, together with Professor Andrea Corradini, to take an innovative approach to designing the new edition of the Advanced Programming course, also for the Master’s Degree in Computer Science, focusing on Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n

The video presents the fundamental ideas behind this new teaching approach, which is not limited to introducing a new tool, but demonstrates the desire and ability to test the technologies that are changing the world.<\/p>\n

Technological innovations are often met with scepticism. In this case, a constructive and informed approach was preferred, which is particularly important in programming, where AI is set to profoundly transform the future landscape.<\/p>\n
