"I'm more worried about democracy than artificial intelligence": Italian press on Moral Economics in advance of the International Festival of Economics

In the run-up to the  International Festival of Economics in Turin starting today, Vanity Fair in Italy publishes an interview with me under this headline:

Alvin Roth: «Sono più preoccupato per la democrazia che per l’intelligenza artificiale»

 "I'm more worried about democracy than artificial intelligence" 

 

The Festival itself publishes this article:

ROTH E LA SFIDA DEI MERCATI RIPUGNANTI  ROTH AND THE CHALLENGE OF REPULSIVE MARKETS 

 

And here's an essay I sent in English, translated into Italian, which you can translate back pretty well:)

Eco­no­mia in cerca di morale
Esi­stono mer­cati con­tro­versi (alcol, gioco d’azzardo, utero in affitto...) su cui i vari Paesi hanno posi­zioni diverse, riflette il Nobel Alvin E. Roth: non sem­pre si arri­verà al con­senso col­let­tivo, ma è lecito esplo­rare com­pro­messi La Lettura
Di ALVIN E. ROTH (tra­du­zione di Rita Bal­das­sarre)

Economy in search of morale
There are controversial markets (alcohol, gambling, surrogacy...) on which the various countries have different positions, reflects the Nobel Prize winner Alvin E. Roth: collective consensus will not always be reached, but it is legitimate to explore compromises
