Valerio Lorini, PhD, is a Project Manager for AI projects at the European Parliament’s Directorate-General for Translation (DG TRAD), where he works on the design, evaluation and responsible adoption of AI in multilingual institutional contexts. His background is in artificial intelligence, natural language processing and Web and Social Science, with a longstanding interest in the relationship between digital technologies and society.
Earlier in his career, while working for the Copernicus Emergency Management Services he worked extensively on the use of AI and social media in crisis and disaster management. He contributed to the Social Media for Disaster Risk Management (SMDRM) project and related international workshops, and served as co-chair of the task force on Social Media-Driven Disaster Risk Management at the European Commission. His work in this area examined how AI, online information and participatory data can support emergency response and risk governance, while also highlighting issues such as reliability, bias, accountability and public trust.
He now focuses on the implications of generative AI and large language models for multilingual communication, translation workflows and public-sector innovation. His perspective combines technical expertise with practical experience in institutional environments, with particular attention to how AI can be deployed in ways that are effective, accountable and aligned with societal values.
