Use of Artificial Intelligence by Bologna Convention Bureau

Bologna Convention Bureau uses artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to support certain editorial activities and the production of content published on the website www.bolognaconventionbureau.it.

Artificial intelligence is used as a tool to support the work of people, with editorial control and human oversight maintained over all published content. It does not replace human review, content verification or editorial responsibility.

Texts

Artificial intelligence tools may be used to support the writing, updating, editing and adaptation of textual content published on the website.

For example, they may help rework information, optimise texts for different formats and channels, or assist with editorial activities.

The use of AI may involve editorial support tasks and does not, in itself, entail the automatic publication of content.

Content is never published automatically: texts produced with the support of artificial intelligence are reviewed by a human editor before publication, to ensure editorial accuracy and consistency with the original information and the website's informational purposes.

Fondazione Bologna Welcome retains editorial responsibility for all content published on the website.

Images

Bologna Convention Bureau may use generative artificial intelligence tools to create or edit images for its website and communication activities.

Whenever an image has been generated or modified using artificial intelligence tools, this is indicated in the relevant caption, making the use of AI clearly identifiable. This information is disclosed in a clear and recognisable manner, generally in the caption or content description, or through another appropriate contextual notice.

Translations

To make content available in the different languages of the website, Bologna Convention Bureau may use AI-based machine translation systems.

In these cases, translations are also subject to human review and editing, to ensure their accuracy, clarity, linguistic quality and consistency with the original content.

Human Oversight and Editorial Responsibility

The use of artificial intelligence does not replace the editorial work carried out by people.

The selection of information, content verification, editorial decisions and publication remain the responsibility of Fondazione Bologna Welcome.

The aim is to use these technologies to improve and streamline certain content production and management processes, while keeping accuracy, transparency and information quality at the centre of our work.

Transparency in the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Fondazione Bologna Welcome adopts an approach based on transparency in the use of artificial intelligence technologies, also in accordance with the applicable European regulatory framework.

Information on the use of artificial intelligence is provided in a clear, distinguishable and accessible manner, both through this page and, where necessary, alongside the individual content or services concerned.

The use of AI on the website may evolve over time in line with the tools available, editorial practices and applicable legislation. This page will be updated accordingly.
