Azzurra Ragone

Azzurra Ragone is a Professor at the University of Calabria's Department of Computer Science within the School of Engineering. Her research focuses on AI ethics, trustworthy AI systems, recommender systems, and automated testing. She collaborates extensively with peers like Maria Teresa Baldassarre, Vito Walter Anelli, and Fedelucio Narducci on projects addressing ethical AI frameworks (e.g., POLARIS), fairness in machine learning, and generative AI impact analysis. Her work bridges technical innovation with societal implications, particularly in child rights and industry standards.

Key research areas include:

• Responsible AI development methodologies
• Ethical implications of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT analysis)
• Automated testing using large language models
• Counterfactual reasoning for fairness auditing

Publications highlight contributions to:

• Trustworthy AI frameworks (POLARIS)
• Child rights in AI contexts
• Recommender systems integration with knowledge graphs

Her work is featured in venues like IEEE Trans. Artif. Intell., ECIR, and ACM RecSys conferences. She actively contributes to workshops like KaRS (Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems) and EASE (European Association for Software Engineering).
