MILAN, May 28 (Class Editori) -- Class Editori has launched MF-GPT, the first autonomous generative AI system developed in Italy. In recent months, the publishing house, which was the first in Italy to create a newspaper website, has rejected all requests for the transfer of its content created over nearly 40 years in finance, economics, stock market, fashion, lifestyle, education, and technology, with its various print and digital publications, the three television channels Class Cnbc, Class Tv Moda, Up Tv, the agency MF-Newswires, the analyses from the Financial Studies Center, and other forms of information. The initiative was presented during the fourth edition of the "General States of Artificial Intelligence" organized by Class Editori (publisher of MF-Milano Finanza).
The team led by Roberto Bernabò, technology journalist and head of digital development at Class, developed the MF GPT project based on the choice of the publishing house's founder, Paolo Panerai, not to relinquish the journalistic work carried out over many years in full autonomy, adhering to the journalists' duty to inform without pursuing any interest other than respect for the reader.
"We decided to do as The New York Times, the great American newspaper that did not yield to the offers of various digital owners and retained all rights and content of its media," explained Panerai. "Generative AI is an extraordinary evolution of technology, but if it becomes a monopoly of the digital overlords who seize all current and future content from various media, the world is destined for a terrible future, dominated in information by a few, very few entities. Selling to them what journalists produce certainly does not benefit democracy".
Starting today, at the conclusion of the General States of AI with the guiding title "Beyond Generative: Humans and Robot Agents," those interested can request to be registered on MF GPT to contribute to the training phase of the system, following the work carried out by the staff led by Bernabò with the assistance of Andrea Pazzaglia, a nuclear engineer graduated from the Politecnico di Milano, as the operational head of AI development.
Nebuly played a significant role in the realization of MF GPT for advanced user interaction analysis; Cutowl for the development of the user interface; Softlab for the creation of the data platform and back-end.
"For all of us, it is an extraordinary satisfaction to be the first to reach the finish line of generative AI with MF GPT," recalled Panerai, "and it is also the best way to honor the memory of Professor Luigi Guatri, who, as rector and CEO of Bocconi University, when I asked him to recommend a student to me and ten other journalists - who had left Rizzoli Corriere della Sera, which ended up in the hands of Torino & C. - to be the president of the emerging publishing house, replied: 'I will call you back tomorrow.' And when he called me back, he moved me: 'If you don't mind, I will be the president, but not as a bell-ringer: the University will subscribe to 20% of the capital,'" Panerai continues. "Without that fundamental push, born from the collaboration between the largest economics university in Italy and a group of journalists with a vocation for independent information in favor of democracy, today we would not have been able to leverage nearly 40 years of news, analysis, data, and commentary for the benefit of citizens, with the most modern tool of technology".
