Biography
Luca Marconi is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Adjunct Professor in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Milano-Bicocca. His research focuses on the design, evaluation, and governance of human-centered Artificial Intelligence systems, with particular attention to Human–AI Interaction Quality, Meaningful Human Oversight, and Responsible AI. He investigates how AI can support human judgment, learning, and capabilities while mitigating risks such as overreliance, cognitive offloading, and deskilling. An emerging direction of his research programme concerns Cognitive Sustainability in sustained Human–AI interaction. He develops and applies this research primarily in education and healthcare, with particular attention to conversational systems, decision support, and the evaluation of AI-enabled technologies.
