“In the past, two or three lifetimes were not enough to witness a technological revolution. Today, in 20 to 30 years, you can witness three or four epoch-making changes, as artificial intelligence is today.” Roberto Cingolani emphasises this, explaining how technological change is now extremely rapid, even in the Defence industry.
Innovation is linked to training and skills research, which is an equally essential issue. According to Cingolani, “when we talk about human capital, we must understand that the adjustment of the cultural model, as well as the collaboration between private and industry, or the development of regulation, must take place very quickly.”
