> Dear Xiaofeng and all,
>
> thanks a lot for your availability.  Your support is very appreciated.  We
> could discuss more with you and your stakeholders about AI applications and
> services. Maybe they could share best practises and data. Also the Italian
> Government pays a lot of attention to ArtificiaI Intelligence applications
> and their use on e-government services.  Last September AgID (Digital Italy
> Agency of Prime Minister Office ) has launched a task force on AI and a set
> of recommendations for Italian Public Administrations  has been issued last
> march http://www.agid.gov.it/notizie/2018/03/21/
> lintelligenza-artificiale-al-servizio-del-cittadino-sfide-opportunita .
> Sorry if the paper is in Italian.
>
> I’m happy to include you and you partners in the discussion. In the
> meantime feel free to add any suggestion to the proposal I sent yesterday.
