A software to strip – metaphorically, of course – gamblers. A telecare system that records the steps, postures, movements, grimacing, sweating, sneezing and how many blinks per minute and even his nose Player. A bit of data abstracted from the context, an algorithm to process them and the result is guaranteed: the profile of the player. If the player is within the parameters that you assign the profile to the wrong profile, the “pathological”, here takes a alert .
Beautiful is not it? A true miracle of artificial intelligence. Half a miracle, actually. Wills with strength and constancy, Paola Binetti supported, apparently, by some expert of “artificial intelligence”, yesterday, in a question to the Chamber to which he replied on Minister Padoan, has He complained loudly that software. Software that, as we learn, it would cost the taxpayer € 3 billion and broken.
put aside the question of whether or not to squander resources in this way and come to the point.
There is a point to which we should pay close attention, but really pay to lend, this attention, just remember that the Italian No never, I repeat never has prepared a serious research and independent, scientifically established and large-scale, which aims not only to “give the numbers”, but to understand the real impact of gambling on mass social fabric, micro and macro economic of the country and so on. Understanding is the first way to act, the premise, not the consequence!
There are many small, searches, independent or not, more or less to the saving, more or less biased, more or less methodologically correct. They exist. But an actual photograph to guide decision-makers and bring to light what is now obvious to miss.
There is – and here is where the various observatories, Departments, Colleges? – A large-scale epidemiological research that addresses resources to where it is needed, not where they cry more “luck”. Because then, if the wolf really comes, there will be trouble, big trouble.
Unless … Unless – is the point – that software, once funded , does not provide the data required by alibi to close the game in epidemiological investigations …
And here we would be on a slope no more grotesque, but tragic. Searches and investigations serviverebbero no more, because the software as required – and it is not the first time – by all Binetti reduce to zero, giving what many ask: profiles and numbers. And nothing more.
