From July 10 to 12, Naples will host the three-day gathering of European conservatives, an event that brings together youth delegations, political representatives, journalists, and intellectuals from across the continent. Among the most innovative activities on the program is a workshop dedicated to artificial intelligence, led by Il Secolo d’Italia journalist Alice Carrazza.
This will not be a technical demonstration or an abstract seminar: the goal is to test in practice how AI can become a concrete tool at the service of political work, improving dialogue among participants, facilitating communication between different languages, and producing operational summaries useful for drafting proposals. “Artificial intelligence is not a magic wand, but a tool. And like any tool, its value depends on how it’s used. In Naples we won’t talk about it in the abstract: we’ll put it to the test,” explains Carrazza.
A Practical Experiment for Politics
Artificial intelligence won’t remain in the background: it will actively interact with the group—speaking, listening, and reworking content in real time. In particular, AI will be able to listen to all the contributions—even if spoken in different languages—and translate and summarize them, enabling smooth conversation without language barriers. Participants will be able to speak in their own native language: it will be the AI that ensures mutual understanding. “The exercise I will lead is meant to show how AI can facilitate collective intelligence, gather contributions in multiple languages, overcome communication barriers, and return in real time a synthesis useful to political work. It will be a practical workshop, but also a symbolic gesture,” the journalist continues.
A Conservative Use of Technology
This initiative takes on even greater significance precisely because it arises in a conservative political context. Far from chasing digital trends or technological hype, the workshop aims to show how innovation can be governed with responsibility and discernment, without delegating crucial decisions to algorithms. “The goal? To demonstrate that technology can make decision-making processes more inclusive and efficient, without replacing human skills or flattening cultural differences.”
In today’s world, marked by “progress” slogans and often uncritical uses of technology, conservative thought proposes a more selective, conscious, and human-centered view of innovation: a tool that is only useful when embedded in a precise cultural and political context. “Moreover, it is no coincidence that this experimentation is born in a conservative context. Today, those who seriously reflect on the relationship between technique and responsibility do not chase digital trends, but try to guide them with discernment. For too long, in fact, the concept of progress has been identified with those who proclaimed it without knowing how to govern it. But today it is increasingly clear – Carrazza continues – that the outlook truly projected towards the future is the one capable of choosing, discerning, and giving direction. And it is often conservative political visions that propose the most concrete solutions for integrating innovation without losing the human measure.”
Toward More Effective Politics
The Naples workshop also aims to make international meetings more inclusive—not only linguistically, but also in terms of meaningful participation. Too often, technical or linguistic complexity prevents everyone from contributing fully. If used wisely, artificial intelligence can help remove these barriers.
The real innovation lies not in the use of AI itself, but in the way it is integrated into a concrete political process, oriented toward decisions, synthesis, and proposals. The objective is not to replace human intelligence, but to enhance it—freeing time and resources for genuine debate.
A Laboratory for Europe
The Naples experiment could become a replicable model in other European political contexts. In an era where technological speed risks disorientation, European conservatism proposes itself as a cultural compass, capable of choosing and guiding.
The workshop led by Alice Carrazza is thus a concrete example of how artificial intelligence can be integrated with sobriety and a sense of limits into a collective decision-making process—without giving up the depth of human and political exchange. A political and symbolic gesture, but above all a proposal: not to surrender innovation to rhetoric, but to place it at the service of a vision that holds together technique and measure, progress and responsibility.
