Silvia Peppoloni will deliver an invited talk (in Italian) titled "La geoetica come fondamento per affrontare le responsabilità etiche dei geologi in un mondo in trasformazione" (Geoethics as a foundation for addressing the ethical responsibilities of geologists in a transforming world) in Genoa, Italy, on 25 November 2025.

This conference is a new hybrid event aimed at researchers, industry professionals, students, policy makers, and all those with an interest in responsible innovation. The meeting will explore how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are transforming the geosciences, while also addressing the critical ethical, educational, and policy challenges that come with these technologies.

This report presents recommendations for the ethical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the geosciences. It has been prepared by the Task Group on AI Ethics in Geosciences under the Commission on Geoethics of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
