The ethical-functional design, programming and management of artificial intelligence and robotics represent one of the greatest challenges that the new generations are certainly facing. A challenge that commits man to a return to the sense of the relationship that he/she has always weaved with technology. A challenge that also engages him/her in a translation of this same sense in formative paths that promote in the new generations those human qualities, those socio-emotional skills indispensable for a governance of artificial intelligence, that is effective and ethically oriented. Early and universal training paths – for this reason in particular referred to primary school – with respect to which educational robotics can constitute not only a training "means" (to be tested, to know and understand for its functional potential) but also an early experience of critical relationship between child and artificial intelligence.
